Coon,

And he whistled it all the afternoon with never

a word of blame.

While all unaware of his owner’s care,

The gobbler pecked in the sunshine there,

With a tip-toe, tip-toe Nancy air, and ruffled

like dancing dame;

Till it seemed to Ozy, whistling still

To the ripity-rap of the turkey’s bill,

That the prim old gobbler was keeping time
