Except the wading for the Birds;

And then, the Shining in the wet;

—Oh, and the Rainbow, afterwards!

[Pg 40]

Church-Time

t feels Forever without End,

The time I have to stay.

It's even harder to keep still

Than pray and pray and pray.

The reading happens all the time;

The praying rolls along;

And something makes them always sing

A long, long song.

So when I've nearly gone to sleep,

I make my Penny walk.—

I walk it up and down, to hear

The talk and talk and talk.

And if I lose it on the floor

Before they pass the Plate,

Why then there's nothing more to do
