Summary

Jason Elmer Hammond Suggestive programs for special day exercises… (1898)

This stolid old chap is a hard nut to crack.
Butternut
Old Mr. Butternut, just from Brazil,
Is rugged and rough as the side of a hill.
But like many a countenance quite as ill-favored.
He covers a kernel deliciously flavored.
All—
Now, dearest schoolmates, I'm sure we have told
All the queer rhymes that nut-shell can hold.
