<h3><SPAN name="jinks" id="jinks"></SPAN>JOLLY JINKS</h3>
<p class="block16 b4">Jolly Jinks, the sailor man,<br/>
Went to sea in an oyster can.<br/>
But he found the water wet,<br/>
Fishes got into his net,<br/>
So he pulled his boat to shore<br/>
And vowed he’d sail the seas no more.</p>
<h3><SPAN name="trans" id="trans"></SPAN>TRANSFORMATION</h3>
<p class="block17 nob">Auntie Ellen found her poodle—<br/>
Mercy! Goodness sake!—<br/>
Playing with the mully-wumps<br/>
Down along the lake.<br/>
<br/>
And when she called him tenderly<br/>
He didn’t want to come;<br/>
It took her over half an hour<br/>
To get the rascal home.<br/>
<br/>
She washed him well with shaving-soap,<br/>
Pumice stone and lye,<br/>
She showered him and she scoured him<br/>
And she hung him up to dry.<br/>
<br/>
And now he sits there quite serene,<br/>
The sweetest poodle ever seen.</p>

<h3><SPAN name="chase" id="chase"></SPAN>THE THIEF CHASE</h3>
<p class="block15 b4">Bricks and bones!<br/>
Sticks and stones!<br/>
I chased a thief through twenty zones.<br/>
<br/>
I found his hat<br/>
On Ararat,<br/>
And hurried on as quick as scat.<br/>
<br/>
In a day or two<br/>
I found his shoe<br/>
Where he had sailed for Timbuktu.<br/>
<br/>
I met the goat<br/>
That ate his coat<br/>
Upon the road to Terre Haute.<br/>
<br/>
At last all worn<br/>
And quite forlorn<br/>
I chased him up the Matterhorn.</p>
<h3><SPAN name="body" id="body"></SPAN>SOMEBODY</h3>
<p class="block13 nob">Somebody give me a peanut,<br/>
Somebody give me a pear;<br/>
I want to go down to the circus<br/>
And feed all the animals there.</p>

<h3><SPAN name="con" id="con"></SPAN>CONSOLATION</h3>
<p class="block16 b4">A dime and a dollar<br/>
Took me by the collar<br/>
And whispered this word in my ear:<br/>
“We must leave you to-morrow,<br/>
But prithee don’t sorrow,<br/>
We’ll come back to see you next year.”</p>
<h3><SPAN name="squirrel" id="squirrel"></SPAN>THE ROBIN AND THE SQUIRREL</h3>
<p class="block16 nob">Said the Robin to the Squirrel,<br/>
“How d’ you do?”<br/>
Said the Squirrel to the Robin,<br/>
“How are you?”<br/>
“Oh, I’ve got some cherry pies,<br/>
And a half a dozen flies,<br/>
And a kettle full of beetles on to stew.”</p>

Said the Robin to the Squirrel,<br/>
“How are you?”<br/>
“I’ve a nest that’s nice and neat,<br/>
And a wife that can’t be beat,<br/>
And I’m every bit as happy now as you.”</p>
<h3><SPAN name="platter" id="platter"></SPAN>THE KING HAD A PLATTER</h3>
<p class="block14 b4">The King had a platter<br/>
Of brisket and batter,<br/>
The Prince had a Bellington bun,<br/>
The Queen had a rose<br/>
To put to her nose<br/>
As soon as the dinner was done.</p>

<h3><SPAN name="rain" id="rain"></SPAN>RAIN</h3>
<p class="block14 b4">The lightning split the sky in two<br/>
And set the clouds to leaking<br/>
Just as dear old Pastor Brown<br/>
Began his Sunday speaking.<br/>
<br/>
He told about the awful rain<br/>
That fell in Noah’s day,<br/>
And one by one the happy smiles<br/>
Began to fade away.<br/>
<br/>
In half an hour the people all<br/>
Put on their rubber coats,<br/>
And when he finished everyone<br/>
Was out and building boats.</p>
