When the last little birds sought their homes IN
the South
It is true children dear, what | say
They bore on their wings, snugly nestled IN
in down,
Crowds OF Pelvics all laughing and gay
Then through long winter months in rose
garden far
Dwelt the Pclvies, all kissed by soft winds.
Till wearicd by idleness, some one proposed
They should travel and broaden their minds.
They met and discussed all the pros and the
Of the methods OF travel they knew.
But the only decision arrived at was this:
They must really do something quite new.
Now on one sunny morning the gardener came
And he passed through that rose garden fair:
And he gathered with care all the half-opened
buds
That grew in their lovclincss there
"Aha, what lark said the Pclvies; well see
Where friends, the sweet rosebuds, will
go.
So they climbed and they scrambled till each
found place
'Mong the petals above or below.
There was never soul. when the roses were
packed
And sent to the big. noisy town,
Who dreamed that the Pelvies were going
along
To visit that place OF rcnown.
