And the Elephant does Wild and Woolly Stunts!

Asparagus is glowing on the Stall,

The Spring lamb cavorts on the Menu tall;

Strawberries ripe—a Dollar for the Box:

Wouldn't it jar You somehow, After all?

A Book of Coon Songs underneath the Bough,

A Jug of Wine, a Dozen Buns, and Thou

Beside me singing rag-time? I don't know?

I wonder would a dozen be enow?

I sent my soul afling through Joy and Pain
