Like one that wants to catch a train,

Or wrestles with internal pain?

Because he finds his egg contain—
Green, hungry, horrible and plain—
An Infant Crocodile.

The Vulture eats between his meals,
And that's the reason why

He very, very rarely feels
As well as you and I.

His eye is dull, his head is bald,
His neck is growing thinner.
Oh! what a lesson for us all
To only eat at dinner!

The Bison is vain, and (I write it with pain)
The Door-mat you see on his head

Is not, as some learned professors maintain,
The opulent growth of a genius' brain;

But is sewn on with needle and thread.

Yet another great truth I record in my verse,
That some Vipers are venomous, some the reverse;
A fact you may prove if you try,

By procuring two Vipers, and letting them bite;

With the first you are only the worse for a fright,
