Ps.-Please, here's a riddle for the cous-
ms, au2tie, if you have space Cor it, II not
let it go:
One legged elf in white rubber cap,
He dances before you or lies in your lap.
Though he says not word he's as quick
as a wink;
This gay little guide who tells what you
think.
He rambles, he gambols, he glides or he
But if a word disappears out Of the way,
Just collar him firmly and gently say ;,
Come now, my little chap, you shall walk
On your head till you rub out your work.
With your funny white cap.
Lovingly, V. h.
