The Tern. The Turnip.

To tell the Turnip from the Tern,

A thing which everyone should learn,

Observe the Tern up in the air,

See how he turns,—and now compare

Him with this inert vegetable,

Who thus to turn is quite unable,

For he is rooted to the spot,

While as we see the Tern is not:

He is not always doomed to be

Thus bound to earth e-tern-ally,

For "Cooked to a turn" may be inferred,

To change the Turnip to the Bird.

Observe the Turnip in the pot.

The Tern is glad that he is not!
