I 'm told that he went home in a most dreadful rage , with the blood streaming out of his mouth , and when his wife asked him what the matter was , he could n't say a word , of course not , because his tongue was gone . I do n't know how long it was before he got well ; but they do say he was the most shamefaced looking animal that was ever seen , whenever any one spoke to him about crabs , or the seashore . '' `` Speaking of the seashore reminds me of another piece of Mr. Crow 's poetry , and if you can stand any more , I wish you would , because I think this is really good . '' As a matter of course your Aunt Amy could do no less than say she would be pleased to hear it , and Mrs. Mouser recited that which is set down here : To little John Adolphus Chubb Your kind attention I invite ; Oh , how he loves to bathe and scrub , Each day at noon and eke at night . Now John Adolphus William Chubb A fine young elephant is he ; And when he 's in his little tub , Oh , 't is a pleasant sight to see ! His nurse , -- a motherly old thing -- No need to coax the rogue has she ; Adolphus , when he sees her bring The water , trumpets in his glee . -LSB- Illustration : Johnny Chubb . -RSB-
