And mamma thinks that's maybe why
I've got the whooping-cough.

DOCTOR McSWATTLE

Doctor McSwattle
Filled up a bottle
With vinegar, varnish, and rum.
And offered a swallow
To all who would follow
The call of his trumpet and drum.
It's good, I am told,
For a cough or a cold;
It's good for a pain in your thumb.

COLUMBUS

Columbus sailed over the ocean blue
To find the United States.
In three small ships he carried his crew,
And none of the three were mates.

He found a land in the western seas,
And Indians galore,
With jabbering parrots in the trees,
And sharks along the shore.

[Illustration]

He filled his pockets with sparkling stones
And took to the mighty main,
With a couple of slaves, some nuts and cones
For the glorious king of Spain.

Now this is the tale Columbus told,
And most of the tale is true,
How he crossed the seas, a sailor bold,
In fourteen-ninety-two.

TERRIBLE TIM

Haven't you heard of Terrible Tim!
Well, don't you get in the way of him.
He eats lions for breakfast
And leopards for lunch,
And gobbles them down
With one terrible crunch.
He could mix a whole city
All up in a mess,
He could drink up a sea
Or an ocean, I guess.
You'd better be watching for Terrible Tim,
And run when you first get your peepers on him.

WHAT'S THE USE?

"What's the use,"
Said the goose,
"To swim like a frog,
When you go just as far
If you float on a log?"

"Why should I,"
Said the fly,
"Suck an old apple-core,
When there's sugar and fruit
In the grocery store?"

"It's but right,"
Said the kite,
"That I follow the wind.
What's a fellow to do
If he hasn't a mind?"

"You'll allow,"
Said the cow,
"That I'm really no thief,
When I turn all the clover
I steal, into beef."

"Come again,"
Said the hen,
"On some other fine day.
Don't think 'cause I cackle
I always must lay."

All aboard for Bombay,
All aboard for Rome!

And your loving aunts at home.

A pocketful of nails,
And half a dozen wiener-wursts
For every man that sails.

Be sure to bring his dog.
