THE ABSURD A.B.C.
JOHN LANE
THE BODLEY HEAD
LONDON & NEW YORK
A for the APPLE or Alphabet pie,
Which all get a slice of. Come taste it & try.
B is the BABY who gave Mr. Bunting
Full many a long day’s rabbit skin hunting.
C for the CAT that played on the fiddle
When cows jumped higher than ‘Heigh Diddle Diddle!’
D for the DAME with her pig at the stile,
’Tis said they got over, but not yet a while.
