The summer boarder wakes at dawn
TO hear the rooster going on,
To hear the luSty ducks aud brakes
And all the fuss the guinea makes.
He hits the bedroom door u whack,
Demands to have his money back,
And dOnS his trousers front behind
The while he speaks his angry mind.
The wobbly calf, ingenious thing,
conducts its mother TO the spring,
contrives TO puch her where her bag
will in the cool, clear water sag, and
calls her out and seizes hold to give

The fool young horse before the

The boy whose wisdom has not dawned
Goes swimm4 ng in u green Scummeo pond
And gets, besides PARENTAL whack,
