Kippy! Kippy! what a pleasure!

Kippy! Kippy! such a treasure!

Here's a lake of water clear;

Little Polly put it here.

See, the water has a sky

Like the one that shines so high

All the other birds are there,

Playing in the sunny air.

In the sky the livelong day?

Oh, no, no! such silly tricks

Would not do for downy chicks.

And he did—that shrewd lad of Cooloo.

Who raised a moustache in a week.

Ah, how he would frown!—

This hairy young man of Pike's Peak.
