SPEAKING OF COMETS --SH-H-H
TO THE COMETS
By A. Starr Gaiser

by "A. starr GalSef
All, there, Halley's comet wee.
You're a lovely sight to see
Spinning like bright new cent
Thro' the vaulted armament!
Tell us where you come from, do;
Tell us where you're going, too;
Do you wag your tail, or not?
Are you cold or are you hot?
Should you hit US, would 1t hurt?
Could we dodge you If we'd squirt?
Be the answer yea or nay,
We will waive the right of way.
