What's this hear,
Ny Molly dear,
About the new carnivora
Can little plants
Fat bugs and ants,
Ard gnats and Aiess
why-bless my eyes y
Who is the great diskiyerer?
Not Darwin, love,
For that would prove
A sort Of retrograding:
Surely the fare
OF flowers is air,
Or sunshine sweet.
They shouldn't eat
Or do aught so degrading.
Alas 'twould be
Sad news to I've,
To hear our OWL dear Fido, pet,
Had lost his breath
In cruel death.
Because, one dsy
In thoughtless play.
He went too near a violet
Or, horror. what
If, needing not,
Some cruel plant carnivorous
We ventured near
Yes, ioe, my dear
And swallowed were,
With no one there
To succor or deliver us.
And yet to die
BY blossoms,
Would call doom chromatic,
For one might wait
A harder fate
Than have a rose
End All his woes
In pain called aromatic.
All. science knows
Each flower that blows
And all its wicked habits
lis not for us
To make a fuss
For aught we know,
The lilies grow
From dining on Welsh RABBITS

Rolling up its scroll of years;

Gives again it, vernal charms.
