A DROLL conversation I once overheard—
Two children, a cat, a cow, and a bird.
The names of the children were Eddie and Jane;
The names of the others I did not hear plain.
How came I to hear them? I think I won't
tell:
You may guess, if you please; and if you guess
well
You'll guess that I heard it as many a man hears,
With his fancy alone, and not with his ears.
