THE GNAT AND THE GNU

“HOW absurd,” said the gnat to the gnu,

“To spell your queer name as you do!”

“For the matter of that,”

Said the gnu to the gnat,

“That’s just how I feel about you.”

THE SOLE-HUNGERING CAMEL

A CAMEL, with practical views

On the nutritive value of shoes,

To the mosque would repair

While the folks were at prayer,

Little dreaming their soles they would lose.
