THE MERRY WIND
A merry wind danced over the hill. A madcap wind. He shook the daffodil’s golden crown. And ruffled the clover’s creamy gown. Then off die sped with a laughing shout, To blow the hurrying clouds about. And bustling back to earth again, He blew my bonnet all down the lane; Then he hid behind a tree And pounced on me; He blew me behind, He blew me before. He blew me right out of the schoolroom door. Tongue-Twister Can you say this quickly six times? —Cedric's thrifty sister sifts thistles through seven thick thistle sifters. (Sent by Joan Pemberton, Washdyke.) Riddle Q: Why does a hen lay eggs in the day-time? A: Because at night it becomes a rooster. Little Laugh Jim: “Can you tell me which kind of skins make the best shoes?" Joe: “I’m sure I don’t knew, but banana skins make the best slippers.” Riddle Q: When is a bow not a bow? A: When it is a knot. (Sent by Joan Pemberton, Washdyke.)
