WHEN TINKERBELL GOES SHOPPING

When Tinker bell goes shopping. Poll Parrot cocks his eye, And screeches in his funniest voice, 4 4 Goodbye, my dear, goodbye-ee!” And all the time she’s absent, He talks below his breath; The way that parrot carried on Just tickles us to death!

You see, we’ve got to know him! And ‘hough he whispers low, We understand each word he says, As he swings to and fro. Now Polly’s one besetting sin, ’Tis sad to tell, is greed! And thorp he mutters on his perch, 4 ‘Don’t dare forget my seed!” When Tinkerbell goes shopping, It’s always just the same; But though by now we’re getting used To Polly’s little game — Each time that Tink brings back the seed. We watch to see the fun. And here old Polly’s screech of joy, 44 We1l done, my dear, well done!” DAFFY DILL. ■ A NEW GAME Some older readers will find it good fun to try to make up a little story such as this, each word commencing with the same letter. Of course any; letter in the alphabet can be ctioscn, but each letter must commence with that letter:— Alice ate apples. Archie asked | Alice, 44 Are Adam and Anne arriving?” i Alice ate another apple. 4 ‘Adam and Anne are arriving. Anne argues and ’ annoys Adam. Archie, ask Adam about i Alan’s arbour. Anne, an apple?” , Afterwards Alice, Archie, Anne and; Adam ate asparagus. Anne argued and Adam appeared angry, answering; antagonistically. Anxiously Alice at-' tempted arbitrage.
