PAWS AND MILK.
The dogs Fern and Fan
Are a lovely young span,
With their ears just as soft as silk.
But queer little Fem,
O, when will she learn
To eat as a puppy ought,
And not
Put her paws in the basin of milk?
Fan growls her advice,
And declares "You're not nice!"
Goes back and sits down in disgust;
Yet of all things to eat,
Paws and milk are a treat
To her sister, Fern by name;
For shame!
Shall we send her to bed with a crust?
