MR. COLUMMY is out in his park, He and his tummy, Mr. Colummy. As soon as they see him the little dogs bark; Oh! ever so rummy Is Mr. Colummy. Mr. Colummy has riz' with the lark; Beginnings were slummy With Mr. Colummy. He once was a minnow, and now he's a shark. He used to say: "Lumme!" Did Mr. Colummy. Mrs. Colummy is pretty and dark; Awfully plummy Is Mrs. Colummy! Her parents belonged to the island of Sark. She's not very chummy With Mr. Colummy. Master Colummy -- his cares do not cark! That fat little dummy Takes after his mummy; There's never quite anything up to his mark; Life's almost too crummy For Master Colummy! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LEONARDO'S 'MONNA LISA' by EDWARD DOWDEN THE EARL O' QUARTERDECK by GEORGE MACDONALD PRAYER TO THE VIRGIN OF CHARTRES by HENRY BROOKS ADAMS FOR EVER AND EVERMORE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) |
