| She revelled in the Monkey Walk, Where Apes, of motley hue, Each jumped—upon a yellow stick— All shining and brand new. |
| And picture, children, how the Snarks Rejoiced her frugal mind; They ate the Buns, they ate the Bag, And even stale cheese rind. |
| The Jub-jub birds Selina fed, But they were rude and rough; They fought and scratched, Nor would they stop When they had had enough. |
| At last, When happy, hot and tired, They found no more to see, Sam took her to a shady spot And treated her to tea. Selina's hat and dress he praised, She clapped his feeblest puns; It was a perfect carnival Of sentiment and Buns! |
| Much time, alas! they cannot spare, Since holidays are few; Soon, hand in hand, they start afresh To seek adventures new. And all about along the walks Stern "Cautions" they espy; "You need not fear," said Samuel, "While I, my love, am nigh." |
