Hector Protector.
Hector Protector was dressed all in green,
Hector Protector was sent to the Queen,
The Queen did not like him, no more did the King,
So Hector Protector was sent back again.

The Muzzle that Fitted too much.
Tip tries to get his muzzle off—
But no—the strap's too tight!
The naughty ducklings laugh and jeer:
They see he cannot bite.

When Mrs. Quack, was coming back,
From seeing Mrs. Hen,
What did she see, but chickens three.
Quite far from mother's pen.
And then she found, all romping round,
Their mother in delight,
Two pups that she, could only see
Like balls of black and white.

A naughty chick, who tried to pick,
The wing from off a bee,
Was only told to be less bold,
And ran away quite free.
“Ha! ha!” said she, “'tis plain to see,
The farmyard's full of fun,
And so I think, I'll have a drink,
And warm me in the sun!”
