HA BIT
BY T. A. Hall, Milford, Del.

The old COW chews her daily cud,
Boys and girls their gum;
Tobacco chewer bites his plug,
The drinker drinks his rum.
Old muley COW has her habit,
Boys and girls do too; ..
And you'll find, Sir Bunny Rabbit
Will take time off to chew.
Some men like to smoke a pipe,
Some like a cigar best;
Others feet just will get light,
And they rather dance than rest
We do the things we like to do
That suits our Appetite;
But God is calling all of you,
To a habit of doing right.
