Pencil's The Yak |
As a friend to the children commend me the Yak
You will find it exactly the thing:
It will carry and fetch, you can ride on its back,
Or lead it about with a string.
The Tartar who dwells on the plains of Thibet (A desolate region of snow) Has for centuries made it a nursery pet, And surely the Tartar should know. |
Then tell your papa where the Yak can be got, And if he is awfully rich He will buy you the creature - or else he will not. (I cannot be positive which) |
