Their praises let us loudly sing,
Who won the day for Leo, King!" [Illustration: THE CHARGE OF THE GIRAFFE CAVALRY] The leader, Tiger, soon was caught, And into Camp a prisoner brought; A warning to this very day, To all who at Rebellion play. The Court-Martial. Field Marshal Leo then and there A stern Court-Martial held; The prisoner, with defiant air, Explained why he rebelled. "Such conduct," said the President, "Admits of no defence; But since you ask it, I'll consent To hear the evidence." 'Twas heard--in "Zooland" of that week You'll find the Owl's report; The President then rose to speak, The sentence of the Court. |
