CAROLYN WELLS
WITH PICTURES BY OLIVER HEREFORD
To My Godfather WILLIAM F. CLARKE
THE REG'LAR LARK
The Reg'lar Lark's a very gay old Bird; At sunrise often may his voice be heard As jauntily he wends his homeward way, And trills a fresh and merry roundelay. And some old, wise philosopher has said: Rise with a lark, and with a lark to bed.
THE HUMBUG
Although a learned Entomologist May doubt if Humbugs really do exist, Yet each of us, I'm sure, can truly say We've seen a number of them in our day. But are they real?--well, a mind judicial Perhaps would call them false and artificial.
THE POPPYCOCK
The Poppycock's a fowl of English breed, And therefore many think him fine indeed. Credulous people's ears he would regale, And so he crows aloud and spreads his tale. But he is stuffed with vain and worthless words; Fine feathers do not always make fine birds.
