Lyric For An Oval Window
I am not a catamaran.
I am not a peach.
It does not therefore follow
That I am out of reach.
In answer to your question
Posed so long ago,
I can definitely say Maybe,
Tentatively No.

The Pansy
The pansy makes such weird grimaces,
And imitates all bestial faces —
But there's a thing it couldn't do,
And that is, make a face like you.
I'm sure I've never seen another.
And that you got it from your mother.
Mumps
I had a feeling in my neck,
And on the sides were two big bumps;
I couldn't swallow anything
At all because I had the mumps.
And Mother tied it with a piece,
And then she tied up Will and John,
And no one else but Dick was left
That didn't have a mump rag on.
He teased at us and laughed at us,
And said, whenever he went by,
"It's vinegar and lemon drops
And pickles!" just to make us cry.
But Tuesday Dick was very sad
And cried because his neck was sore,
And not a one said sour things
To anybody any more.
