THE ’LOGICAL GARDENS

Won’t baby have to look up high

When elephants go pounding by

With backs right up against the sky
In the beautiful "Logical Gardens ?

And there we’re all to have our tea,
Not fifty yards from the chimpanzee,
And boa constrictors close will be

To our cups in the Logical Gardens!

And Daddy’s promised me and Jake

To stop a keeper and to make

Him show the snake that ate the snake
For his lunch in the Logical Gardens. :

Apes captured on the Guinea Coast,

And crested parrots in a host—
There’s Daddy by the pillar-post !
Hurrah for the Logical Gardens!
