The Beaver's Lesson |
Then a scream, shrill and high, rent the shuddering sky |
And they knew that some danger was near: |
The Beaver turned pale to the tip of its tail |
And even the Butcher felt queer |
«The thing can be done,» said the Butcher, «I think |
The thing must be done, I am sure |
The thing shall be done! |
Bring me paper and ink |
The best there is time to procure.» |
The Beaver brought paper, portfolio, pens |
And ink in unfailing supplies: |
While strange creepy creatures came out of their dens |
And watched them with wondering eyes |
«You boil it in sawdust: you salt it in glue: |
You condense it with locusts and tape: |
Still keeping one principal object in view-- |
To preserve its symmetrical shape.» |
«Taking Three as the subject to reason about-- |
A convenient number to state-- |
We add Seven, and Ten, and then multiply out |
By One Thousand diminished by Eight |
«The result we proceed to divide, as you see |
By Nine Hundred and Ninety Two: |
Then subtract Seventeen, and the answer must be |
Exactly and perfectly true |
Exactly and perfectly true |
«You boil it in sawdust: you salt it in glue: |
You condense it with locusts and tape: |
Still keeping one principal object in view-- |
To preserve its symmetrical shape.» |
«You boil it in sawdust: you salt it in glue: |
To preserve its symmetrical shape.» |
Still keeping one principal object in view-- |
You condense it with locusts and tape |
«The method employed I would gladly explain |
While I have it so clear in my head |
If I had but the time and you had but the brain-- |
But much yet remains to be said |
«In one moment I’ve seen what has hitherto been |
Enveloped in absolute mystery |
And without extra charge I will give you at large |
A Lesson in Natural History.» |
«You boil it in sawdust: you salt it in glue: |
You condense it with locusts and tape: |
Still keeping one principal object in view-- |
To preserve its symmetrical shape.» |
«You boil it in sawdust: you salt it in glue: |
To preserve its symmetrical shape.» |
Still keeping one principal object in view-- |
You condense it with locusts and tape |
Such friends, are the two in this story became |
Have seldom if ever been known; |
In winter or summer, 'twas always the same-- |
You could never meet either alone |
Such friends, are the two in this story became |
Have seldom if ever been known; |
In winter or summer, 'twas always the same-- |
You could never meet either alone |
