All men can’t cook.
Why not ask MR. COOK.
One who has stood the test.
How about it, MR. WEST.
Some folks think it’s a sight
Because the Mill runs DAY and
NIGHT.
Just a tip to not get scared
If flying around you see a BYRD.
There’s not a puzzle he can’t un
fasten,
Isn’t that right, MR. MASTEN?
When summer comes we almost
scorch.
Please send us north, MR.
DORTCH.
One man they need on a freighter
And that’s our little boy CRA
TER. ,
I could go on and write a week
And then not mention MR.
CHEEKS.
The best way to be happy and
gay,
Get up smiling and sing all DAY.
When tired at home don’t be a
grouch,
Off with your shoes and rest on
a COUCH.
Whether it’s birds or fowl.
