The Purple Cow
- by Gelett Burgess 20
I NEVER SAW A PURPLE COW,I NEVER HOPE TO SEE ONE;
BUT I CAN TELL YOU, ANYHOW,
I'D RATHER SEE THAN BE ONE!
The Floorless Room
- by Gelett Burgess 17
I Wish that my Room had a Floor!I don't so Much Care for a Door,
But this Crawling Around
Without Touching the Ground
Is Getting to be Quite a Bore!
