THE CROSS CARPENTEK-SHOP. He started out to build a shop,But when he got it done It looked so very cross it madeHis customers all run. He once was hired to build a church, But had no luck in that;His fellow-townsmen, laughing, said It looked more like a cat. … THE CAT CHURCH. 187 188 POEMS FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES Some friends they let him build an inn, But they were money out,For not a guest would take a bite; They d rather do without.
