To get a good look,
And when she came back

Transcriber's Notes:

Punctuation and spacing "A.B.C." has been used for all occurrences.

Full stops or commas have been added where omitted at the ends of lines.

In The Absurd A.B.C., the positions of the apostrophes have
been corrected in "Full many a long day's rabbit skin hunting" and
"went up to sweep 'em"
