ALICE GILL FERGUSON.
MY FRIEND
True and trustful, never doubting,
Is my young and handsome friend;
Always jolly,
Full of fun,
Bright eyes gleaming
Like the sun--
Never see him blue or pouting
From the day's break to its end.
Whether I am "flush" or "busted"
Makes no difference to him!
"Let's be gay, sir"--
He would say, sir--
"Won't have any
Other way, sir!"
Oh, he's never cross and crusted--
Light of heart and full of vim!
Often we go out together
For a ramble far and wide--
Catch the breezes
Fresh and strong
Down the mountain
Swept along--
For we never mind the weather
When we two are side by side.
But my friend is sometimes quiet,
And I've caught his clear brown eye
Gazing at me,
Mute, appealing--
Telling something,
Yet concealing,
Yes, he'd like to talk! Well, try it--
"Bow, wow, wow," and that's his cry!
ANONYMOUS.
TED
I have a little brindle dog,
Seal-brown from tail to head.
His name I guess is Theodore,
But I just call him Ted.
