A Riddle
Reading edition
(Written for Miss Mame Leo, Erie, Pa.)
One night 'neath the light of a silvery moon There sat on a log pile a very fat coon And also a little most cunning brown fellow Eating of melon so juicy and mellow. The large robust coon and the wee little one Thought they were having a bushel of fun, And laughed very loudly in notes of pure glee, For they were as happy as happy could be. So here is a riddle I'll give now to you, Guess the relations there was 'twixt the two. ANSWER. Most everyone answers, "Why, father and son." Not so—'twas a Mammy and her little one.
