HA! HA!
Letter A walked out one day, ’Twas a pleasant summer morning; But he found that II had 'barred his way, Without a minute’s warning. So he got as cross as cross could be. And then he was heard to say: “While I’ve two legs to carry me, I ’ll walk along that way! ’ ’ Said H “I’ve as many legs as you, And I have an extra head; :Let’s fight for our right, as warriors do, Till one of ns is sped.’’ 'So they fought that day, for the right of way, Till their heads and legs were sore; Then a wise old Elf came out to sav — “Shake hands, and fight no more.’’ They had no hands, but they’d feet to fare, So they linked themselves together, Happy and gay, they went their way, In the pleasant summer weather. And they .joined in a jovial “HA, Ha! Ha!’’ Till the Elf thought them demented; They laughed all day, and that’s the way That laughing was invented. For you cannot laugh a gay “HA! HA!” ■Without an H and A, ■So let’s take care this happy pair Will always with us stay. —'Mary L. Boper, in the Sydney Morning Herald.
