SEEN ON THE SIDE
a Capric Carol
BY HENRY EDWARD wARNE

n Snpric Carol
There's little pet Ansora-you have ono of
them. I'll bet!
It's n beast that every chap YOU meet is trying
hard to get;
And no matter how you guard It, though you
watch 1t night and Gay.
You are always agitated, lest your goat may
get away!
the anguished hours you worry and the
nights you steam and stew
In the fear that your pet Capra will elopo away
from you!
And it's ten to your worry isn't worth a
single whoop
For your little pet AnEora doesn't want to fly
the coop.
Every follows goat adores him, and would like
to hang around
Till the hand that feeds him rests beneath the
ciover-covered ground.
6ut somehow all get fidgots when we SEQ
kiGnapers near
And we fret and fuss and worry with the mo-
mentary fear
That bandit. bold and reckless may defy
our deepest moat.
And with dea -defying daring come aIonr md
get goat!
But the truth Isl if we'd think n bit, we wouldn't
have to moan,
For the other chap is guarding an Anpor. ~
his own!
Therefore brethren. sisters. let US treat our net
Angora we'll:
Let US get lot of goats and have some .-tra
goats to SELL
H. perchance, our goat should wander to some
big. burglarous brother
Let us grin as If were happy, and go out and
get another!
What's the use of wasting worry on q l,t,e
thing like that
Just SO long as we are eating and the children
getting fat?
And the purpose Of this ilnrle 60 20 go,
by the throat
Here's long life to perseverance. and perdtion
to the Goatl
