A RIDDLE

One night 'neath the light of a silvery moon

There sat on a log pile a very fat coon

And also a little most cunning brown fellow

Eating of melon so juicy and mellow.

The large robust coon and the wee little one

Thought they were having a bushel of fun,

And laughed very loudly in notes of pure glee,

For they were as happy as happy could be.

So here is a riddle I'll give now to you,

Guess the relation there was 'twixt the two.

ANSWER

Most everyone answers, "Why, father and son."

Not so—'twas a mammy and her little one.
