OF Longfellow, and, in addition, we
will say frankly that we believe 1t is

the benefit of the doubt, and use the
opening stanza as sample.
He killed the noble jackass rabbit,
With the skin he made him mittcns,
Made them with the fur side inside,
Made them with the skin side out

He got the warm side inside,
Put the inside skin side oatside,

Put the warm side, fur side, inside
That's why he put the fur side in

Why he PIT the skin side outside,
Why he turned them inside outside. y
