NONSENSE ALPHABETS.

A
[Illustration]
A was an ant
Who seldom stood still,
And who made a nice house
In the side of a hill.
a!
Nice little ant!

B
[Illustration]
B was a book
With a binding of blue,
And pictures and stories
For me and for you.
b!
Nice little book!

C
[Illustration]
C was a cat
Who ran after a rat;
But his courage did fail
When she seized on his tail.
c!
Crafty old cat!

D
[Illustration]
D was a duck
With spots on his back,
Who lived in the water,
And always said "Quack!"
d!
Dear little duck!

E
[Illustration]
E was an elephant,
Stately and wise:
He had tusks and a trunk,
And two queer little eyes.
e!
Oh, what funny small eyes!

F
[Illustration]

F was a fish
Who was caught in a net;
But he got out again,
And is quite alive yet.
