The Donkey

I had a Donkey, that was all right,

But he always wanted to fly my Kite;

Every time I let him, the String would bust.

Your Donkey is better behaved, I trust.

 

The Ceiling

Suppose the Ceiling went Outside

And then caught Cold and Up and Died?

The only Thing we'd have for Proof

That he was Gone, would be the Roof;

I think it would be Most Revealing

To find out how the Ceiling's Feeling.

 

The Chair

A funny thing about a Chair:

You hardly ever think it's there.

To know a Chair is really it,

You sometimes have to go and sit.

 

The Hippo

A Head or Tail--which does he lack?

I think his Forward's coming back!

He lives on Carrots, Leeks and Hay;

He starts to yawn--it takes All Day--



Some time I think I'll live that way.

 

The Lizard

The Time to Tickle a Lizard,

Is Before, or Right After, a Blizzard.

Now the place to begin

Is just under his Chin,--

And here's more Advice:

Don't Poke more than Twice

At an Intimate Place like his Gizzard.
