A. Hoatson, Merry Words for Merry Children
“ Four frogs dressed in green, four rabbits in brown, Four greyhounds well brushed and with spotless shirt-fronts, Four pussies with tails hanging gracefully down. [16] The frogs came up first, with their legs straddled wide. [17] THE four solemn puggies inspected them all And weighed them as gravely as if they were dead. “The rabbits must carry the dinners for all; It’s a fair handicap, as they’re quickest,” they said. ”
