Funny Toys

Reading edition

Here's a number of funny toys

For good little girls and good little boys,

First comes Jackie all ready for fun,

After the animals see him run.

Next is a bird of colours gay,

If he spreads his wings he will fly away.

Poor Master Duckie cries “Quack, quack, quack!

To my farmyard pond please take me back.”

What a dear little doggie Bunty his name,

I am sure that he looks quite friendly and tame.

His bright eyes are gazing up in the air,

I wonder what ever he sees up there!

“Croak, croak, croak!” cries Mr. Green Frog,

“I really am quite afraid of that dog!”

And that dear little clockwork mouse on wheels—

I know if you pinch him hard he squeals!

There were seven froggies of Lee

Who were happy as happy could be,

Till a duck close by

Just winked his eye,

As he thought of his afternoon tea.

With a hop, and a skip, and a run,

He soon put an end to their fun,

For as they went past

He snapped up the last,

And that tells you my story is done.
