He'd seen a crowd of angels in the silent starl...
By A. A. Milne King John was not a good man — He had his little ways. And sometimes no one spoke to him For days and days and days. And men who came across him, When walking in the town, Gave him a supercilious stare, Or passed with noses in the air — And bad King John stood dumbly there, Blushing beneath his crown. King John was not a good man, An...

The ducks can do their flatfoot-waterfool Mad act that leaves you helpless, ...
