The Young Egotist
BY F. p. Pifzer

I'VE often ate hot cakes at night,
Cocoanut pie and crullers,
So that when l got into bed
I'd dream of Scarlet Squllers.
Purple panthers, lilac lambs.
Wombats, thin and stout,
And all the other quadrupeds
That fairies tell about.
/ often ate plum pudding till
My belt it almost burst.
A walnut frappe l gulped down
To qucnch my awful thirst,
And into bed at night I'd jump,
Expecting that I'd dream
OF Cooks and Flynx and El6nsays
And lions made OF cream
But not single one appeared,
No matter what I ate;
! think they're simply nature fakes.
The stories they relate;
Or maybe they think my toy gun,
So shiny, means their dooms
Or else my heads so full of brains
For dreams there is no room -
