"A is for Apes, / who seem / to be vain, / Though their faces / must surely be called rather plain. / B Bunny and Bell / both / begin / with a B, / And these Bunnies / have Bells, which / they jingle with glee. / C is for Cats: / swell / dandies / are they, / Who think that their / manners and / Clothes are OK."--Page [2] of wrapper.
