Edward Buttoneye and His Adventures

by Cyril F. Austin

“I’m Horace, so they all allege,”

It said, and scrambled through the hedge.

So side by side, o’er hill and dale,

The gallant heroes strode,

And Horace frisked his stumpy tail

And joked with every frog and snail

And chaffed each slug and toad.

But silent Edward longed for fame

And by great deeds to make a name.
