THE MOCKINGBIRD 
“I’m the world’s famous singer, the gay Mockingbird: 
And can mock any song I ever have heard. 
I sing in the mornings and whistle at night, 
And to make the world happy is my chief delight. 
“Ell wake in the morning and go to the race: 
But as mocking that day will be out of place, 
I’ll have to quit mocking, and get down and run, 
And then I am sure I’ll miss none of the fun.”
