THE Window has Four little Panes:
But One have I;
The Window-Panes are in its sash,-
I wonder why!
2
My Feet they haul me ’round the House:
They hoist me up the Stairs;
I only have to steer them and
They ride me everywheres.
3
Remarkable truly, is Art!
See-Elliptical wheels on a Cart!
It looks very fair
In the Picture up there;
But imagine the Ride when you start!
4
[Pg 58]I’d rather have fingers than Toes;
I’d rather have Ears than a Nose:
And as for my hair,
I’m glad it’s all there,
I’ll be awfully sad when it goes!
5
I wish that my Room had a floor;
I don’t so much care for a Door,
But this walking around
Without touching the ground
Is getting to be quite a bore!
