fl Greaf Mistake.
BIDDY, | think you really make,

Ii you but knew, a great mistake.

You may be wise, you may be clever,
You ll never hatch that egg, no, never.

 

Youd better keep a closer guard
Over your chicks in our farmyard.

There’s one of them who thought, worse luck,

That he was meant to be a duck.
ae

   

He fancied, duck-like,
he could swim,
Alas, the pond

has swallowed him !

Another chick—it’s really odd—
Is taking breakfast with a cod.

Well, that's, of course it’s plain to you,
A very dangerous thing to do.

You'd better leave that egg alone,
And mind the chicks that are your own.
