AMYSTERY
by DOUGLAS MALLocH

HAPPENED on mystery.
- Anyway it was to me;
On the bank l found a book
Down beside a shady brook,
Yes, sir, yonder by 'the crick"
Found brown arithmetic.
How it got there, hard to tell;
Maybe put there, maybe fell.
There it lay, a book Of sums
Bearing marks of smudgy thumbs,
Looking blankly at the sky
just as though it wondered why,
How it got there, That to me
Also is a mystery.
Near it was a fishing-hole.
l could swear l saw a pole
From the bushes sticking out
1t was there without a doubt,
Not a split bamboo affair,
Just an alder cut somewhere.
And 1t seemed to me the line
Wasn't silk, but cotton Irvine.
On the water, seemed to me.
Something else that | could see:
Just cork, cork " brown,
Slowly bobbing up and down.
It's mystery, as say;
For I'm sure there's school today.
