Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 200
As he scampered off home, what above should he seeBut the roof of a shed, that had lodged in a tree ;So he laughed and he laughed, till his sides they did ache,For he said, This is better nor wedding nor wake!And he roared Ho-ho ! and he roared He-he ! For he was as tickled as tickled could be.… … That boy, say the terrified folks of the town, He would laugh just the same if the sky tumbled down! Indeed, an I would, fancied Mike, with a grin, For I might get a piece with a lot of stars in ! And he chuckled He-he ! and he chuckled Ho-ho ! The very idea delighted him so !
