There was little man who had
little gun,
And his bullets always deadly,
were of lead, lead, lead,
He went to brook and saw little
duck
And skillfully he shot it through
the head, head, head.
Thus he skulked and thus he shot,
leaving mangled birds to rot,
For they ceased to interest him,
when they fell. fell, fell.
His high purpose was to kill, and
his prowess and his skill,
Caused the manly breast beneath
his vest to swell, swell, swell.
When the man got home at night,
he exclaimed with proud delight
AS he sat him down and polished
up his gun, gun, gun,
Man is great, and this is shown in
the fact that he alone
Can shoot living things to pieces
just for fun, fun, fun.-S. E.
