LUKH IN THE RUKH;

Sllblt iuIiu on lilt
Rosy veldt;
So lurid that in Tumbo's gum,
The cartridges did melt.
Beware the Nature Fake, my son;
The tongue that lies, the phoney
bunch,
Avoid the Ananias Club, and shun
The Malefacting bunch"
Bold Kermit then the
Big Stick glommed,
And jungled through the rukh;
%Perchance he might a Whingus meet
Or MISUNDERSTANDING.
And as he swung the Timber Large
A-raking grimly through the Muck,
An elephant fifteen feet high
Came trekking through the rukh.
But Jumbo Tumbo's teeth did view
And trembled at his Tusk ;-
The Scourge of Congo, in the Gumbo.
Vanished in the dusk.
Twas ax~e-i-dental,' Tumbo hissed,
The mollycoddling dude
He never stopped to
Pack his trunk.
The mammoth has
Skiddoed!p
As Kermit then alone did seek,
The Monster in his lair.
The Bumblebeeste, with frightful
reek,
came squimbling through the air.
tJust forty times the size of any
Pindling Grizzly Bear.
"Ker-biff, ker-biff.
Glass Conscious Stiff!'
Now hear the Big Stick Crack:
He fixed its clock. and with its block,
He came cayorting back.
"And hast thou slain the Bumble-
beeste?
Come to my arms, o Faunal Boyl'
ooh Sauabjous Day
Hoorool H6QrRyl"
He s~eratfgled fp'his JOY.
Twas wooay, and the squggy sun
Did shine upon the Rosy veldt;
SO blooming hot thai in the trees
Butternuts did melt.
