WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?
By. ANTHONY EVWER
T l THAT'S in ainunc?" tjic poet said,
Al And when the poet aid t,&-
.He robbed the thing we call a name
Of any special credit. ; .
Our family puts great store, in '-ame$
When christening our auto - -4
Or other chattels, always we
; Use "fitness" for our motto. . '
For instance, there's my loyely wife
I call her "Hinges," for;"
Each day I li-re I'm more convinced
She's something to adorer '
We have a chatty parrot with
A disposition sunny, , ;
And since they say that money talks,
We call that parrot "JMoney."
We have a squirrel it lives on nuts
V And' gobbles all you give it
The way those nuts are bolted down
: - Has'made us call "him-"Rivet. 1
We have a dog we used to call
The little fellow Towser,
! But since his pants come thick and fast,
i We've changed his name to "Trowser."-
i We call our skiff the "Jail-bird" for -
i Whenever we go boating,
i We always have to bail her 6ut
! To keep the blame thing floating. v
Our saddle horse he jolts so hardt
' He's ridden by no mortal ;
And so because his gait's a jar, Z--We
call him "Open Portal."
Our tabby-!at we call 'Tirst-aid'
-The name it seems to fit her, ' ,
Fdr not a; year -goes passing by
Bufwhat she bears a titter.
We had a mule a cheerful cuss.- f;
- . His shanks were . sleek and brawny
We called that mule "jMLax -Welton"
- His brays were always bonny.?'' ' -
for
We' call our' gold-fish "Climber,,,for
Since-he has started failing,6 '"
.' '"'No matter where he'a headed for,:'..l"
,2- . T He's always, always scaling.' "
