A FRONTIER COAT-OF-ARMS

This is a crest

That came out of the West,

For the family was founded

Where hunters abounded,

So the head of a deer

And two hunters appear.

THE FANCIFUL ELK

This is the head of an elk, as you see.

His horns are as tall as a sycamore tree.

They are strangely designed,

And I think you will find

He has horns where his ears ought to be.

T' OTHER AND WHICH

Ink-bottle imps turn up their noses

When they meet each other:

And the reason, I suppose, is—

Can't tell which from t' other.
