Naughty Billy

Billy put the puppy-dog
In the water-pail;
Billy tied the toasting-fork
To the kitten’s tail.

Puppy bit his naughty legs,
Kitty scratched his nose.
Somebody is screaming now,
Who, do you suppose?

A Lad

There was a lad,
Whose name was Chad.
He had a brother
Whose name was Bother.
He had a sister
Whose name was Twister.
He had an uncle
Whose name was Buncle.
He had an aunt,—
Tell her name I sha’n’t!
