      CONTENTS

      A Seal.

      SEE, chil-dren, the Fur-bear-ing Seal;

      Ob-serve his mis-di-rect-ed zeal:

      He dines with most ab-ste-mi-ous care

      On Fish, Ice Water and Fresh Air

      A-void-ing cond-i-ments or spice,

      For fear his fur should not be nice

      And fine and smooth and soft and meet

      For Broad-way or for Re-gent Street

      And yet some-how I of-ten feel

      (Though for the kind Fur-bear-ing Seal

      I har-bor a Re-spect Pro-found)
