The American literary reciter; readings, delcamations and plays, original compositions and choice selections of the best literature .. . edwrong,Or a dunce if I failed to tellJust when to say lie and when to say lay, Or what nine-sevenths may make,Or the longitude of Kamtschatka bay,Or the I-forget-what-its-name lake,So I think its about my turn, I do,To ask a question or so of you. The schoolmaster grim he opened his eyes,But he said not a word for sheer surprise. Can you tell what phen-dubs means? Ican. Can you say all off by heartThe onery, twoery, hicgory ann? Or tell commons and alleys apart? Can you fling a top, I would like to know, Till it hums like a bumble-bee?Can you make a kite yourself that will go Most as high as the eye can see,Till it sails and soars, like a hawk on the wing,And the birds come and light on thestring? The schoolmaster grim he looked demure,But his mouth was twitching, Im almostsure. Can you tell where the nest of the orioleswings,Or the color its eggs may be?Do you know the time when the squirrelbringsIts young from their nest in the tree?Can you tell when the chestnuts are readyto drop,. What shall I write?
