"If Pets, Why Not Useful Ones?"


By Percy Shaw.

I wonder how 'twould be if cows
And hens and ducks were household pets,
And banished far were growls and meows,
As witness in these silhouettes!

Mere man would look aghast no doubt
And voice a thousand vain regrets;
But though these ladies ne'er come out,
They look well in these silhouettes.
