THE POWDERMONKEY

Оглавление

THE POWDER MONKEY

A Theory, by scientists defended,

Declares that we from monkeys are descended.

This being thus, we therefore clearly see

The Powder-Monkey heads some pedigree.

Ah, yes,—from him descend by evolution,

The Dames and Daughters of the Revolution.


THE TREE CALF

The sportive Tree Calf here we see,

He builds his nest up in a tree;

To this strange dwelling-place he cleaves

Because he is so fond of leaves.

'Twas his ancestral cow, I trow,

Jumped o'er the moon, so long ago.

But he is not so great a rover,

Though at the last he runs to cover.
