Is a little lost pup with his tail tucked in!

By solemnly sneezing, the coming of rain!

Gaily the Troubadour (1936)
When life is woe,
And hope is dumb,
The World says, "Go!"
The Grave says, "Come!"
The finest thing in London is the Bobby;
Benignant information is his hobby.

Exit, pursued by a bear.

The Light Guitar (1923)
The Fawns don't dine
When a Wolf's about,
And the Porcupine
Puts his quill points out.
Amœbas at the start
Were not complex;
They tore themselves apart,
And started Sex.
Of all cold words of tongue or pen
The worst are these: "I knew him when ——"

Is Ferric Oxide, known as rust.
On the Vanity of Earthly Greatness (1930)
Thus have I sorrowed,
Learning to my cost
That a book that's borrowed
Is a book that's lost!
Gaily the Troubadour (1936)
The Mirthful Lyre (1918)
The three-toed tree-toad
Sings his sweet ode
To the moon;
The funny bunny
And his honey
Trip in tune.
