KINGS' JESTERS

Jesters from the courts of kings

Tell their secret whisperings.

Just a fleeting moment, then

They must hurry back again.

Ever making monarchs gay,

Happy-hearted jesters they.

THE FUNNY OCTOPUS

A jolly old octopus lived in the sea,

With a hey-diddle hi-diddle dum;

And the funniest sort of a fellow was he,

This jolly old octopus under the sea,

With a mouth where the top of his head ought to be,

To swallow the divers that come—

This jolly old octopus under the sea,

With a hey-diddle hi-diddle dum.
