THE THREE-HEADED MAN
This is the tale of a three-headed man, Believe it, my dears, if you possibly can, For though you might say that It couldn't be true, Just think what a person with three heads could do! With six useful eyes he-could not be misled, He •could look to the right, he could look. straight ahead, He could look to the left, cast a glance . at the rear, And pose as a world-famous prophet or seer. The three-headed man in the picture you see I-las invited himself out to afternoon tea —* A picking of bones in some mountain recess, Where for parties like this no one bothers to dress. His steed is the Wampus (an eagle, you say?)
It has been there before and remembers the way, It can ride with the wind and see ten miles below, Yes, of course this big Wampus knows just where to go. . . . But the guests, I believe, squealed with horror and ran When last they encountered the threeheaded man ; And was he offended? Why, not in the least . . . He stayed till next day and demolished the feast! —W.S.T.
