Cee 9

The Vankee Doodles.

HE Yankee Doodles came to town,
The public to befoodle ;
Their proper name’s Alonzo Brown,
There’s none of them a noodle :
For he’s a do and she’s a do, and so is little Doodle—
He does his pa and does his ma, and also does the poodle.

 

Eccentric.

FUNNY old lady, whose eggs didn’t sell,
Returning from market (as I’ve heard tell),
Fell fast asleep on the road. No doubt
The weather was to blame, and that glass of stout.
Now, being one beside herself, how could she feel surprise ?
A short-coated old woman, what dog could recognise ?
(The Pedler had curtailed her crinoline.)
