Here are two scraggle-de-racks
With moss on their beautiful backs—
The sort that you'll find
On such of mankind
As fail to keep up with the facts.
A WHAT-IS-IT
There was an old man of high feather,
Who said, "I can't really tell whether
I'm a man or a mouse,
Or the roof of a house,
So much may depend on the weather."
THE MERRY WATER-WEEDLES
Within the caverns of the sea
Two Water-weedles stay.
Their hearts are happy as can be,
Within the caverns of the sea
They sing and frolic in their glee
Throughout the livelong day.
Within the caverns of the sea
Two water-weedles stay.
