With many pawshakes then, at last
They parted—each to say,
“I wonder where that creature passed
The winter—anyway!”
Nature and Art.
Said a lady who wore a swell cape,
As she viewed a Rhinoceros, agape,
“To think in this age
A Beast in a cage
Is permitted our fashions to ape!”
Thought the Beast in the cage, “I declare,
One would think that these Ladies so fair
Who come to the Zoo
Have nothing to do
But copy the things that I wear!”
The Geometrical Giraffe.
