Strictly Germ-Proof The Antiseptic Baby and the Prophylactic Pup Were playing in the garden when the Bunny gambolled up They looked upon the creature with a loathing undisguised It wasn't disinfected and it wasn't sterilised. They said it was microbic and a hotbed of disease They steamed it in a vapor of a thousand-odd degrees They froze it in a freezer that was cold as banished hope And washed it in permanganate with carbolated soap. In sulphurated hydrogen they steeped its wiggly ears They trimmed its frisky whiskers with a pair of hard-boiled shears They donned their rubber mittens and they took it by the hand And 'lected it a member of the Fumigated Band. There's not a micrococcus in the garden where they play They bathe in pure iodoform a dozen times a day And each imbibes his rations from a hygienic cup The Bunny and The Baby and The Prophylactic Pup.
More Quotes from Arthur Guiterman:
Husband and Wife Whatever I said and whatever you said, I love you. The word and the moment forever have fled I love you. The breezes may ruffle the stream in its flow, But tranquil and clear are the waters below And under all tumult you feel and you know I love you. Whatever you did and whatever I did, I love you. Whatever is open, whatever is hid, I love you. The strength of the oak makes the tempest a mock, The anchor holds firm in the hurricane's shock Our love is the anchor, the oak and the rock. I love you. Whatever I thought and whatever you thought, I love you. The mood and the passion that made it are naught I love you. For words, thoughts and deeds, though they rankle and smart, May never delude us or hold us apart Who treasure this talisman deep in the heart 'I love you.'Arthur Guiterman
On the Vanity of Earthly Greatness The tusks that clashed in mighty brawls of mastodons, are billiard balls. The sword of Charlemagne the Just Is ferric oxide, known as rust. The grizzly bear whose potent hug Was feared by all, is now a rug. Great Caesar's bust is on the shelf, And I don't feel so well myself.

He rarely hits the mark or wins the game, Who says, 'I know Ill miss' while taking aim.

Admitting Error clears the Score, And proves you Wiser than before.

LITTLE LOST PUP He was lost-not a shade of doubt of that For he never barked at a slinking cat, But stood in the square where the wind blew raw With a drooping ear and a trembling paw And a mournful look in his pleading eye And a plaintive sniff at the.
