Aesop doth with umbrella fare Along Broadway and view
A long array of Turtles rare, Which Bill but do not Coo.
The unwonted sight the Elephant Doth very much perplex,
While Chimpanzees irreverent Hung from his Trunk, like Checks.
The neck-or-nothing Camels stare ; The Frog is much more cool,
He comes out with triumphant air From a Pacific Pool.
The menagerie gathers 'round : And Aesop in dismay
Resolves to buy the modern book, And throws his own away.
