"Whoa, Barney!" shouted Helen,
When off he clashed, "Whoa, whoa!"
And both the girls chased after him
As fast as they could go.
But Barney sped the faster,
With feet as swift and light,
As if he had grown young again;
Soon he was out of sight.
And as he scampered homeward,
He thought with gleeful mind
Of how he'd turned the joke on them,
The girls he'd left behind.
The End
