THE LOBSTER.

Lobsters have n't any feet,

But they have lots of claws;

Yet lobster meat is good to eat,

And this is strange, because —

A dog is never good to eat,

And yet a dog has paws,

And so have cats, and so have rats

And so have other kind of brats.

A lobster then, so to speak,

Is, my child, an awful freak;

For if you get him in a stew,

He'll blush quite red and glare at you.

Yet if you eat much lobster salad,

It will make you very pallid.
