Said the Squirrel to the Robin,
“How d’ you do?”
Said the Robin to the Squirrel,
“How are you?”
“I’ve a nest that’s nice and neat,
And a wife that can’t be beat,
And I’m every bit as happy now as you.”

THE KING HAD A PLATTER

The King had a platter
Of brisket and batter,
The Prince had a Bellington bun,
The Queen had a rose
To put to her nose
As soon as the dinner was done.

RAIN

The lightning split the sky in two
And set the clouds to leaking
Just as dear old Pastor Brown
Began his Sunday speaking.
He told about the awful rain
That fell in Noah’s day,
And one by one the happy smiles
Began to fade away.
In half an hour the people all
Put on their rubber coats,
And when he finished everyone
Was out and building boats.
