Come to the Moon-Fay Tennis-Courts,
And see the Grand Athletic Sports.
The Frogs will jump for the medal gold
With the Famous cow of the fable old,
Who took the moon in one grand leap.
Two Snails will start on a Six-Day Creep,
And sixteen gnats,
In derby hats,
Will wrestle a match
With the Bandersnatch.
A dozen Clams
Will take six hurdles against six lambs;
And the Lobster's claw
Will pull 'gainst the Crab's in a tug-of-war.
The voice of the musical Pee-Wee Bird
In a high-note contest will be heard.
So come to the Moon-Fay Tennis-Courts
And see these grand athletic sports.
Admission Free!! All those must pay
Who have the bad taste to stay away.
"Why, Pat, what's the trouble now?"
"Faith, whin oime asked to paint a life-sized man on this sign-board, and it not big enough to paint a half a man on, what on earth can I do?"
"Why, paint the half of a man, of course."
"Sure it's aisy enough to do that; but what troubles me is what shall I leave off."
"Leave off? What do you mean?"
"Faith, I don't know whether to let his legs hang off or put his head above the sign."
