MY FATHER'S WORLD
This is my Father's world, The birds their carols raise: The morning light, blossoms bright, Declare their Maker's praise.
THINGS THAT CANNOT BE DONE You can't weigh grains with a grammar. And you can't euro hams with a hammer. Do sums with a summer, Stew plums with a plumber, Or shear an old ram Avith a rammer. A BIRD IN THE HAND Here is a new setting of .the pro-A-erb "A bird in the hand is Avorth two m the bush": A member of the feathered federation A prisoner by your palm and digits made Is; worth at least a couple of his brothers Who in your leafy arbour seek the shade.
