THE FUNNY

ALPHABET.

A was an Actor, 'Tis clear to your view: B was three Boys, Forming letters for you.

C was a clown, who clever was found. D was a dunce, and Harlequin bound, E was soon formed with the aid of a child, F in a frolic appear'd to be wild.

G was George Godfrey, a truant I fear, H hand in hand, like two pillars appear. I was an Indian figure for thee: J was Jemima Mermaid, only see.

K was Kail Knowledge, to Kew he was bound, L was Luke Lazy, he's now on the ground. M Master Merryman, mark what I say, N Neddy Noodle the Vicar of Bray.

O Obadiah a letter quite round, P Paul Plaintive, in Pleasure was found, Q quit was, in shape much like O, R Robin Roughead, I'd have you to know.

S Simon Sobersides, serious and soft, T Timothy Touchstone, tomboy and torch, U Uniform, Union, and Unicorn trot, V very vexatious his letters forgot.

W Walter and William Were vex'd, X in the Alphabet, Is sure to stand next.

Y was a Youngster, He'd play with his betters; Z was a Zany, For not knowing his letters.
