THE HAUGHTY COW
Said an acrobatic monkey
To the staid and stately cow:
“Come let us turn some handsprings;
“I will quickly show you how.”
But old bossy shook her head,
“No indeed!” she sharply said,
“I have passed the age of nonsense
“And I’ll not begin it now.”
THE PEANUT BIRD
Deep in the forest, dark and still,
There lives the peanut bird;
It rarely walks, it seldom flies,
Its song is never heard.
No fear of hunters armed with salt
Will make this bird turn pale;
It can’t be caught with salt you see,
Because it has no tail.
