WHAT WE HEARD.
Oh, ze lilly darling ; Oh, ze pretty pet, See its pinky toeses — Connin’ babyette. Mamma's lovely dumpling ; Hear it murmur 1 Goo !’ Izzum sweet as sugar ? Cootchy, cootchy, coo ! Then uprose the student With an awful look, As against the ceiling Banged his heavy book :— ‘ Oh, these flats are lovely, And these mothers—nit!’ So he tore his hair out, Then he had a fit. See ; ’tis one year later ; Student’s fell in love With a maiden dazzling As the stars above. Proud and happy father Now, indeed, is he As he walks the infant Saying merrily :— ‘ Impsy, umpsy oddles ; Googy, gogy, gee; Wait until he toddles, He’ll be fun for me. Apsy, upsy, daisy, Papa’s caramel. See ! be understands me— Dinggy, dongy bell 1’
