UNT Annie came to stay a week At our house, you know, And to amuse us (so to speak), "Twixt blind man's buff and hide and seek,
Made a galanty show.
With scissors thrifty,
Fingers taper,
She cut out fifty
Things in paper.
Engines dashing
On the line;
Steamboats splashing
Through the brine;
Coaches jolting
On the road;
Horses bolting
With their load;
Windmills flying
In the breeze;
Balloons skying
Over trees;
Peacocks proudly
Spreading plumes ;
Shepherds loudly
Piping tunes;
Cattle bleating,
Sheep and goats;
Horses eating
Pecks of oats;
Cats that scratch,
And dogs that bite;
Hens that hatch,
And cocks that fight;
Birds that sing,
And fish that fly;
Snakes that sting,
And then you die;
Lions roaring
For their prey;
Eagles soaring
Far away;
