Field Marshal Hippo shouted out,
"Arrest him on the spot!"
If he had not escaped, no doubt
He'd promptly have been shot.
A SPY IN CAMP
Preparing for the Fray.
Preparing for the coming fray,
The Camp was busy night and day;
The Rhino had his horn re-ground,
Because it had got blunt he found.
The Elephant had his tusks, too,
Re-sharpened till they looked like new;
In fact, the Ape's new grindstone strong
Was working nearly all day long.
All day the Camp was never still—
With marching to and fro, and drill;
And quite right too, since it appears
They hadn't been to war for years.
