The Oreo* Seal.
Jjjere was ft hush—the audience
seemed to know
Some feat of super-excellence was
planned.
And then a voice: -'To culminate the
show
A seal performs. The cleverest in
the land.” ,
And gliding swiftly to his proper
place
With great dispatch he did as he
was told.
But if at times he mude a slight
grimace
With his bits of meat he quickly
was consoled.
Then came the climax when he
played upon
A kind of clarinet. (Strange sight
to see!)
Did he recall some gleaming icy
dawn?
The notes came clear: "My coun
try ’this of thee."
Then hesitating, fumbling piteously.
He turned his eyes upon his mas
ter’s face;
The cue was given, "Sweet land of
liberty
. of thee I sing.” H»- finished it ,
with grace. I
The audience was Wild in its ap
plause
And with a sound ot weird, ironic
glee
The real responded, clapped his!
finny paws !
And eyed the crowd, it seemed
derisively.
