Show AMERICAN ANIMALS I MARTEN THIS marten's quicker than a flash, He catches weasels in one dash. A marten thinks it is no sin To catch and eat his smaller kin, For he is very fierce and savage; His nature is to kill and ravage. He preys on conies, hares, and grouse, And likes a fish or frog or mouse. He's at his best among the trees, And darts from branch to branch with ea-c. I wish that I could write a rhyme As fast as he can leap and climb! The ladies think his fur is nice (At least it's very high in price!) They give it quite another label, For in the stores it's known as sable. ( by Tlie I'. F. Vnll.in.l Co. WNU Service) |
