The finest thing in London is the Bobby;
Benignant information is his hobby.

The Light Guitar (1923)

And dreary and cold with a chill all its own.
You ask them for bread and they give you a scone,
In Glasgow.

The Light Guitar (1923)

The three-toed tree-toad
Sings his sweet ode
To the moon;
The funny bunny
And his honey
Trip in tune.

The Light Guitar (1923)

I breathed a song into the air;
That little song of beauty rare
Is flying still, for all I know,
Around the world by Radio.

For Education is, Making Men;
So is it now, so was it when
Mark Hopkins sat on one end of a log
And James Garfield sat on the other.

The Light Guitar (1923)

He stood with his muzzle thrust out through the door
The whole forty days of that terrible pour!
Because of which drenching, the Sages unfold,
The Nose of a Healthy Dog always is Cold.
