Old Mr. Hammer
Was so very, very good,
That he gave Mr. Shingle Nail
A drive through the wood.

THE MALICIOUS BRUSH


When poor little Hand-Glass
Was loudly berated
For casting reflections,
The Brush was elated.

THE WISE PEN


There was a Pen in our town
And he was wondrous wise;
He knew just when to cross his T's
And when to dot his I's;
