We've never thought to draw bend

But, Bessie. bless your dear old heart
Those days are mostly done;
And now we must revive the ar,
OF shooting on the run
If Doodle must be meddling, why,
There's only this TO do:
Select the black spot in his eye
Aud let the daylight through
Ard if he doesn't ike the way
That Bess presents the view,
He'll maybe chnnge his mind and stay
Where the good Doodles do.
