THREE OF THEM

You ought to see my Cousin
Making poems on the Moor!
Last week he wrote a dozen,
To-day he's written four.
There's one about the actions
Of boys and girls who cry
Because of Vulgar Fractions
They fail to simplify;
And one about a Fairy,
Who turned the milk to gold
In any farmer's dairy,
If he were poor and old;
And one about the danger
Of Him who looked and smiled
At oxen in the Manger—
The Christmas Morning Child.
