I’m a poor old fowl, but I’ll fool ’em yet,” etc.
Hilary was the “bird”, and sat on the corner of that most convenient table, when—enter Mother Nature and Girls. “Clementine” was the tune in which the following musical conversation occurred:
GIRLS—
Mother Nature, Mother Nature,
Shall we see some birds today?
MOTHER NATURE (ELOISE)—
Very likely, very likely,
If only quiet you will stay.
GIRLS—
Mother Nature, Mother Nature,
Here’s a rock where we may sit.
MOTHER NATURE—
Yes, sit down and all be quiet,
While we wait for birds to flit.
