RHYMES WITHOUT REASON. GRAND PAP A LITTLE BOY. L AST night, when I was in my bed, Such fun it seemd to me;I dreamt that I was Grandpapa,And Grandpapa was me. I thought I wore a powder1 d wig,Drab shorts, and gaiters buff; And took, without a single sneeze,A double pinch of snuff. And I went walking up the street, And he ran by my side;But, because I walkVl too quick for him, My goodness, how he cried! And after tea I washd his face,And, when his prayers were said, I blew the candle out, and leftPoor Grandpapa in bed. RHYMES WITHOUT REASON.

COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO. A LITTLE Boy got out of bed, Twas only six oclock ;And out of window poked his head,And spied a crowing Cock. t RHYMES WITHOUT 11EASON. The little Boy said, Mr. Bird, Pray tell me, who are you ?And all the answer that he heard Was, Cock-a-doodle-doo ! V What would you think, if you were me lie said, and I were you VBut still that Bird, provokingly Cried, Cock-a-doodle-do ! How many times, you stupid-head, Goes three in twenty-two ? That old Bird winkd one eye, and said,Just Cock-a-doodle-doo ! He slanimd the window down again, When up that old Bird flew;And, pecking at the window-pane, Cried, Cock-a-doodle-doodle-doodle-doo! KHYMES WITHOUT REASON.
