About this ebook
This book is a collection of short poems about animals, written in a manner meant to amuse the readers. Some of the included titles are 'The Ant—The Pheas-ant', 'The Gnu—The Newt', 'The Doe—The Dodo', and 'The Elk—The Whelk'. Here's an excerpt from 'The Ant—The Pheas-ant': "The Ant is known by his ant-ennae / Where-as the pheas-ant hasn't any / And that is why he wears, instead / A small red cap upon his head."
