“THE PRACTICAL JOKE.”
Little Joey Bun,
He’s the chap for fun,
Sometimes he is really quite provoking.
He’ll always make you laugh,
He’s much too smart by half;
There never seems an end to all his joking.
Father Bun is old –
Joey Bun is bold,
Not a spark of fear in him remaining:
What’s his latest spree?
Well, just look and see.
I don’t think the picture needs explaining.

Curious Crocodiles Beside The River Nile!
“A Curious Sight”
. . . But wait until you’ve heard me tell
About my Crocodile.
And then I think that you’ll agree
You didn’t know such things could be
Beside the river Nile.
He wore a coat of brilliant hue,
He’d trousers and a waistcoat, too;
Upon his head a hat;
His gloves were of the latest shade,
A neat umbrella he displayed –
Now, what do you think of that?
But even as I gazed in awe,
A stranger figure still I saw –
It would have made you smile –
For there approached with gown so neat,
With hat and feathers all complete,
A Lady Crocodile!
They greeted one another, then
Went arm in arm across the plain
Beside the river Nile.
I’ve searched, but ah! I’ve searched in vain,
I’ve never seen a trace again
Of either Crocodile!
