BARBARA'S BIRTHDAY BEAR.
Barbara's birthday comes once a year,
And Barbara's age you may surely know
If into the toy-box depths you'll peer
And count the Teddy-bears all in a row.
For by Barbara's law, which we all obey,
She claims each year, as the birthday-due
That her loyal subjects must cheerfully pay,
A new Teddy-bear for the toy-box Zoo.
