| The fish globe round he reached with a bound |
| And stood with his paws on the rim |
| Looking in with an air that was certain to scare |
| The fish as they looked at him. |
| His cunning head bent and his little nose went |
| Right down, while his tongue flashed red—— |
| When, O, what a sight! The fish in their fright |
| Splashed water all over his head. |
| And Punky Dunk howled and Punky Dunk yowled |
| And Punky Dunk fell to the floor, |
| And he bristled and spat like a terrified cat |
| As he fled through the dining room door. |
