THE GRACEFUL POLLY-WOGS

Oh, the polly-wog waltzes with wonderful grace,
And he skates with a radiant smile on his face,
While his arm in the air
Has the curve, I declare,
Of some beautiful creature's of Thrace.

A SOUTH-SEA IDOL

There lives an old god in the isles of the West,
And a wonderful god is he,
With a star on his brow, and a star on his breast,
While at left and at right,
In their armor drest,
A dragon and knight
On his shoulders rest,
And he dwells in the great South Sea.
