Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 65
THE STONE-CROCKODILE. On a shelf sat a Stone-CrockodileWho had a phenomenal smile;If you offered him lardHe winked very hard,And he ate an astonishing pile. 52 A BAKERS DOZEN OF WILD BEASTS. … THE BREAD-PANTHER. The Bread-Panther remarked with a scowl:I wish I could go out and prowl!It s so awfully slowTo sit here and hold dough,Though it s all covered up with a towel.
