The Mad Gardener's Song

He thought he saw an Elephant， That practised on a fife：

He looked again， and found it was A letter from his wife．

"At length I realize，" he said， "The bitterness of Life！"

He thought he saw a Buffalo Upon the chimney piece：

He looked again，and found it was His Sister's Husband's Niece．

"Unless you leave this house，" he said， "I'll send for the Police！"

He thought he saw a RattlesnakeThat questioned him in Greek：

He looked again， and found it was The Middle of Next Week．

"The one thing I regret，" he said， "Is that it cannot speak！"

He thought he saw a Banker's Clerk Descending from the bus：

He looked again， and found it wasA Hippopotamus：

"If this should stay to dine，" he said，"There won't be much for us！"

He thought he saw a Coa chand Four That stood beside his bed：

He looked again， and found it was A Bear without a Head．

"Poor thing，" he said，"poor silly thing！It's waiting to be fed！"

He thought he saw an Albatross That fluttered round the lamp：

He looked again， and found it wasA Penny Postage Stamp．

"You'd best be getting home，" he said："The nights are very damp！"

他再一看，發(fā)現(xiàn)那不過(guò)是一只碩大的河馬：

“如果他要留下來(lái)吃飯，”他說(shuō)，“那我們就沒(méi)多少吃的了！”

他以為他看見(jiàn)了一輛四馬拉大車(chē) 在他的床邊停立：

他再一看，發(fā)現(xiàn)那不過(guò)是一只沒(méi)頭的大熊。

“可憐的東西，”他說(shuō)，“可憐的蠢貨！它在等人給它喂食！”

他以為他看見(jiàn)了一只信天翁圍繞燈泡振翅：
