      Naughty Puppies

Tiny and his Parents

      There were two little puppy dogs,

      “Tiny” named, and “Toodles,”

      Who got into all kinds of scrapes,

      Like little foolish noodles.

      Tiny was a brownish dog,

      And Toodles was a white one;

      And Tiny had a cunning eye,

      And Toodles had a bright one.

      Tiny played all kinds of tricks.

      For which his parents chid him:

      And Toodles did—poor, foolish pup—

      Whatever Tiny bid him.

Tiny, Toodles, and the Turkey

      “Come, Toodles,” Tiny said, one day,

      “It's bright and pleasant weather,

      We'll go and fight the turkey-cock:”

      And off they went together.

      But all their courage oozed away,

      When the turkey-cock said “Gobble;”

      They both turned tail, and scampered off,

      As fast as they could toddle.

      But turkey caught them up at last,

      And read them both a lecture;

      And how he served them with his beak,

      I leave you to conjecture.

      So home they went with drooping tails,

      And pace so lame and jerky,
