e!
Oh, what funny small eyes!

F
[Illustration]

F was a fish
Who was caught in a net;
But he got out again,
And is quite alive yet.
f!
Lively young fish!

G
[Illustration]
G was a goat
Who was spotted with brown:
When he did not lie still
He walked up and down.
g!
Good little goat!

H
[Illustration]
H was a hat
Which was all on one side;
Its crown was too high,
And its brim was too wide.
h!
Oh, what a hat!

I
[Illustration]
I was some ice
So white and so nice,
But which nobody tasted;
And so it was wasted.
i!
All that good ice!

J
[Illustration]

J was a jackdaw
Who hopped up and down
In the principal street
Of a neighboring town.
j!
All through the town!

K
[Illustration]
K was a kite
Which flew out of sight,
Above houses so high,
Quite into the sky.
k
Fly away, kite!

L
[Illustration]
L was a light
Which burned all the night,
And lighted the gloom
Of a very dark room.
