eve.
,,,f,l, his hay-fork, at one stroke, shall cleave
1i,s fissr1g glnder and the bucking ram,
MI i,rly-s the mule and bleats the early lamb.
D,or, shall the bullfrog sing his lullaby,
lin rbr snloke-hOuse Thomas cats shall cry,
,I,,r from the window hurled, the old bootiack
I'm rrp head the musing cats shall whack;
,rI ring, honed horse viii in the pasture neigh,
And the newborn calves will bunt and suck away.
Pl,fnes the pampered goose, the gobbler, and the

shall an alliance form, and round the barnyard chase
the wallOwing SOW.
The froirSume young jackass shall run and jump and
aambol with the rest,
,yfe the old hen turkey, in mOtherly way, squats

With barnyard rhymes and scraps of haystack lore.
