A MOUSE, A CAT, AND AN IRISH
BULL
A LITTLE mouse nibbled a Limburger
-^^^ cheese,
And back to his bedchamber stole,
Whence never again was he destined to
squeeze,
For the smell was too large for the hole.
And a Pussy Cat, passing, instinctively stood ;
For her appetite urged her to try it ;
But she answered her stomach that grumbled
for food,
" I should die if I lived on such diet. "

THE TRYST
T3OTATO was deep in the dark under
? ^ ground,
Tomato, above in the light.
The little Tomato was ruddy and round,
The little Potato was white.
And redder and redder she rounded above,
And paler and paler he grew,
And neither suspected a mutual love
Till they met in a Brunswick stew.

And to the clouds brought her.

PANIC
TT struck the signs of the Zodiac,
? ^ Around the immovable Man
Who stands in front of the Almanack
To show his interior plan.
The Scorpion attacked the Bull,
The Bull aroused the Lion ;
The Crab by their tails
Flung the Fish in the Scales,
Where they floundered as on a gridiron ;
The Billy Goat went for the Gemini twins ;
The Ram made a rush at Aquarius ;
And a narrow escape had the Virgo's shins
From the shaft of her beau Sagittarius.

THE END OF IT
A WHOLE-TAIL dog, and a half-tai!
dog,
And a dog without a tail.
Went all three out on an autumn day
To follow a red-fox trail.
But the dogs that carried their tails along
Fell out, it is said, by the way ;
And the loss of a tail and a half at the end
Of the dogs put an end to the fray.
When each, as a morsel sweet, gulped down
What had late been a neighbor's pride,
" You Ve kept your tails," laughed the no-tail
dog,
" But you wear them now insider

TO HIS MOTHER

And blushed a rosy red
Before her fairer light.
He brought a Rose; and lo,
The crimson blossom saw
Her beauty; and in awe
Became as white as snow.
