Classic Poem

TO MASTER PRESTON FROM HIS LONG INVISIBLE PLAYMATE

THERE is LORE of more devices,
And ROMANCE that more entices
Higher minds and higher prices; —
But, for " Giggle-boy " or " Cry-sis "
(With some sniffless interstices)
Here's a little tale suffices —
Sweet as oranges in slices
Slobbed in slues o' cream and ices,
Tanged with tingling, spangling spices. —
Ho! there's no tale half so nice as
This Old Tailor and his Mice is!
