Mr Duck, who was on watch,
Said: "My goodness, where, where?"
Rover^[1] asked, "Bow-wow, bow-wow?"
Kitty^[2] replied, "Meow, meow."
"Yes," said the rooster, "I see them,
Cock-a-doodle-doo, one, two, three!"

THE THREE HENS.

When three hens go out to the field,
The first one goes in front,
The second follows the first,
The third takes up the rear:
When three hens go out to the field,
The first one goes in front.

TICK-TOCK THE LITTLE ROOSTER.

Tick, tack, tock,
What is that dry striking noise?
Rick, rack, rock,
It's a little beak;
Crick, crack, crock,
The shell breaks;

 

1. Médor, name of a dog.
2. Minette, Pussy.
