"WHERE'S DICK-EY?"
| "Look there!" lit-tle Lot-ty cried, "Dick-ey's cage is o-pen wide, And, I fear, he's not in-side. Cou-sin John, Do please stand up-on this chair, Just to see if he is there. Pret-ty Dick, I won-der where You are gone! "Naugh-ty puss, your jaws, you lick! Have you eat-en lit-tle Dick? That would be a cru-el trick! No, I see Pret-ty Dick has flown a-way, And is sing-ing blithe and gay, Sit-ting yon-der on a spray Of the tree. "Well, I too should think it wrong, If a gi-ant, tall and strong, Just to hear my lit-tle song ev-ery day, Shut me in a cage; and yet Thus I did my lit-tle pet— So he must be glad to get Safe a-way." |
PLAY-ING AT OM-NI-BUS.
|
Says Hu-bert, "Look, how fast it pours! I'm sure we can't go out of doors While it is rain-ing thus; So let us in the nur-se-ry stay, To have a mer-ry game, and play At driv-ing om-ni-bus. "Flo-ra and Ted-dy, you must be The horses, and be driv-en by me. Mind you go stea-dy—do! A place for Char-lie we shall find; To guard the 'bus he'll ride be-hind, And take the mon-ey too. "Dick, with pa-pa's old hat to wear, Looks just the thing to be a fare Who wants to ride with us. Jump up, sir! Six-pence all the way! Gee, gee, you horses! Gee, I say!"— Off goes the om-ni-bus! |
