WASHEE WU.
The strangest man I ever knew* Was one called Mr Washee Wu,
He wore a pig-tail long and flat, His legs were short, his body fat, His taisk was hard, he worked all day, To wash the 800-hoo’-s tears away. The 800-hoos cried out if they fell, When bed-time cam e they’d simply yell. They stained with tears their bibs and smocks; And, oh! they kept him busy, too, This C-hin-Ch.m-Cliinee Washee Wu. —Sent by A’ice Bennett.
