Nonsense Drolleries The Owl & The Pussy-Cat—The Duck & The Kangaroo.
Duck,
"This requires some little reflection;
Perhaps on the whole it might bring me luck,
And there seems but one objection,
Your feet are unpleasantly wet and cold,
And would probably give me the roo-
Matiz." said the Kangaroo.
I have thought over that completely,
And I bought four pairs of worsted socks
Which fit my web-feet neatly
And every day a cigar I'll smoke,
All to follow my own dear true
Love of a Kangaroo!"
All in the moonlight pale;
But to balance me well, dear Duck, sit steady!
And quite at the end of my tail!"
And they hopped the whole world three times round;
And who so happy,—O who,
As the Duck and the Kangaroo?

MR. RUSKIN
says, in his List of the Best Hundred Authors—"Surely the most beneficent and innocent of all looks yet produced is 'The Book of Nonsense,' with its corollary carols, inimitable and refreshing, and perfect in rhythm. I really don't know any author to whom I am half so grateful for my idle self as Edward Lear. I shall put him first of my hundred authors."
