SELIGOR'S CASTLE

Fun for all the children of the world

Another little poem especially for the Boys out there;

WHAT WAS IT ?

Guess what he had in his pocket :

                  Marbles and tops and sundry toys

             Such as always belong to boys,

             A bitter apple, a leathern ball ? -

Not at all

What did he have in his pocket ?

A bubble pipe and rusty screw,

     A brass watch-key broken in two,

   A fishhook in a tangle of string ?-

No such thing.

What did he have in his pocket ?

                            Gingerbread crumbs, a whistle he made,

                    Buttons, a knife with a broken blade,

             A nail or two and a rubber gun ? -

Neither one.

What did he have in his pocket ?

         Before he knew, it slyly crept

                   Under the treasures carefully kept.

                             And away they all of them quickly stole. -

'Twas a hole !.

WHAT WAS IT ?
