Mr No-Bod-Ee.
I know a funny littlo man, A n quieb a3 a tnoutie. That doo3 the mischief that is done, In aveiybody's hou.'e; Thure'a no one ever saw bisfaco, And yet wo all agree Tha'. every plate we break was cracked By Air No-bod-ee. 'Tis ho who always tears ouk books — Who leaveß our doora ajar; He pulls »))O buttons from our shirts, And scatters pins afar. That squeaking door will always squeak, For, prithee, don't you oca, We 1> aye the oiling to be done By Mr No-bod-oe. The finger-marks upon tho doors By none cf us are rnado; We never leave the blindo unclosed, To let the curtains fade. The ink we Dover spill; the boots That lying round you ace, Are not our boots. They all belong To Mr No bod cc.
