THE JACK-O-MY-GOBLIN
Reading edition
A terrible creature of Ink-bottle Land, A Jack-o-my-goblin is he. The sea-urchins made him to place on the sand, And frighten the monsters that dwell on the land. They took a sea-pumpkin and carved it by hand, And lighted it up in their glee With a phosphorus fish from the sea; Now all the day long on the shore doth he stand, While Land-loodles terrified flee, Oh, yes, The terrified Land-loodles flee.
