His Wifelet had dressed for his tea.

"Now reach me, sweet Atom, my gunlet,

And hurl the old shoelet for luck;

Let me hie to the bank of the runlet

And shoot thee a Duck!"

She has reached him his minnikin gunlet:

She has hurled the old shoelet for luck;

She is busily baking a bunlet,

To welcome him home with his duck.

On he speeds, never wasting a wordlet,
