In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/24673-h/images/cover.jpg b/24673-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644

CLARKE + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE REG'LAR LARK + + +The Reg'lar Lark's a very gay old Bird; +At sunrise often may his voice be heard +As jauntily he wends his homeward way, +And trills a fresh and merry roundelay. +And some old, wise philosopher has said: +Rise with a lark, and with a lark to bed. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE HUMBUG + + +Although a learned Entomologist +May doubt if Humbugs really do exist, +Yet each of us, I'm sure, can truly say +We've seen a number of them in our day. +But are they real?--well, a mind judicial +Perhaps would call them false and artificial. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE POPPYCOCK + + +The Poppycock's a fowl of English breed, +And therefore many think him fine indeed. +Credulous people's ears he would regale, +And so he crows aloud and spreads his tale. +But he is stuffed with vain and worthless words; +Fine feathers do not always make fine birds. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE HAYCOCK + + +The Haycock cannot crow; he has no brains, +No,--not enough to go in when it rains. +He is not gamy,--fighting's not his forte, +A Haycock fight is just no sort of sport. +Down in the meadow all day long he'll bide, +(That is a little hay-hen by his side.) + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE POWDER MONKEY + + +A Theory, by scientists defended, +Declares that we from monkeys are descended. +This being thus, we therefore clearly see +The Powder-Monkey heads some pedigree. +Ah, yes,--from him descend by evolution, +The Dames and Daughters of the Revolution. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE TREE CALF + + +The sportive Tree Calf here we see, +He builds his nest up in a tree; +To this strange dwelling-place he cleaves +Because he is so fond of leaves. +'Twas his ancestral cow, I trow, +Jumped o'er the moon, so long ago. +But he is not so great a rover, +Though at the last he runs to cover. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE MILITARY FROG + + +The Military Frog, as well you know, +Is the famed one who would a-wooing go. +And on the soldier's manly breast displayed, +He wins the heart of every blushing maid. +But, as a frog, I think he's incomplete, +He has no good hind legs that we may eat. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE FEATHER BOA + + +This animal of which I speak +Is a most curious sort of freak. +Though Serpent would its form describe, +Yet it is of the feathered tribe. +And 'tis the snake, I do believe, +That tempted poor old Mother Eve, +For never woman did exist +Who could its subtle charm resist. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE BRICK BAT + + +Oft through the stillness of the summer night +We see the Brick Bat take his rapid flight. +And, with unerring aim, descending straight, +He meets a cat on the back garden gate. +The little Brick Bat could not fly alone,-- +Oh, no; there is a power behind the thrown. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE CAT O' NINE TAILS + + +The Cat O' Nine Tails is not very nice,-- +No good at all at catching rats and mice; +She eats no fish, though living on the sea, +And no one's friend or pet she seems to be. +Yet oft she makes it lively for poor Jack,-- +Curls round his legs, and jumps upon his back. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE ROUND ROBIN + + +Here's the Round Robin, round as any ball; +You scarce can see his head or tail at all. +He's not a carrier-pigeon, though he brings +Important messages beneath his wings. +And 'tis this freak of ornithology +They mean who say, "A little bird told me." + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE IRON SPIDER + + +The Iron Spider is an insect strange, +He loves to stand upon a red-hot range. +Unlike his race, he's not an octoped, +He has but three legs and he has no head. +Had this but been the kind Miss Muffet saw +'Twould not have filled the maiden with such awe. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE BOOKWORM + + +The Bookworm's an uninteresting grub, +Whether he's all alone or in a club. +Of stupid books which seem to us a bore, +The Bookworm will devour the very core. +Did Solomon or somebody affirm +The early reed-bird catches the bookworm? + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE BLACK SHEEP + + +The Black Sheep is a beast all men should shun-- +He has no fleece yet fleeces every one; +Though without horns, oft with a horn he's seen; +Though not a lamb, he gambles on the green. +Perhaps he's not a sheep, as some suggest, +But a grim wolf who's in sheep's clothing dressed. + + + + +[Illustration] + +TIME FLIES + + +Time Flies are well-known insects; sages claim +That Tempus Fugit is their rightful name. +When we're on idleness or pleasure bent, +They sting our conscience and our fun prevent. +We hear them winter mornings ere we rise, +And oft in fly-time we observe Time Flies. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE APPLE BEE + + +In country villages is found +The Apple Bee with buzzing sound. +And when our ears it does regale +We find a sting is in its tale. +As to its food,--the Apple Bee +Is fond of doughnuts, cheese and tea. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE WELSH RABBIT + + +See the Welsh Rabbit--he is bred on cheese; +(Or cheese on bread, whichever way you please.) +Although he's tough, he looks so mild, who'd think +That a strong man from this small beast would shrink? +But close behind him follows the nightmare, +Beware of them, they are a frightful pair. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE CRICKET BAT + + +The Cricket Bat is very often seen +Flying perchance around the village green; +But unlike many other bats, its flight +Is always made by day and not by night. +There may be one exception though,--and that +Is when it's aimed at some stray neighboring Cat. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE COMMON SWALLOW + + +The Common Swallow is so swift of flight, +We scarcely see him ere he's out of sight. +One does not make a summer, it is true, +But many of them cause a fall or two. +The Swallow's strong when he is in his prime, +And yet a man can down him every time. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE TOMAHAWK + + +The Tomahawk's a fearsome bird, we deem; +Though feathered tribes hold him in great esteem; +A bird of prey, he whizzes through the air, +And clutches his pale victim by the hair. +Gory and grewsome,--he is the mainstay +Of the historic novel of to-day. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE JAIL-BIRD + + +This is a Jail-bird. Isn't it a shame +To keep him in a cage and try to tame +His wild desires for freedom? See him droop +Behind his bars. He wants to fly the coop. +But to beguile his tedious, lonely hours +Kind ladies bring him nosegays of bright flowers. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE ROYAL SEAL + + +This noble beast's impressive form is seen +'Mong the possessions of a king or queen. +Hard-favored, yet so valuable is he, +He's ever kept beneath a lock and key. +And, since his temper can't find vent in speech, +He stamps and punches everything in reach. + + + + +[Illustration] + + +THE FIRE DOGS + + +Here are two Fire Dogs--they are queer, indeed; +They seem to come of a three-legged breed. +They have no tails, their bark is on their back; +They hunt in couples, never in a pack. +The day's work over, 'tis a pleasant sight +To find them waiting by the fire at night. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE MACKEREL KIT + + +This funny little Mackerel Kit +Is not like other cats a bit; +She cannot mew or scratch or purr, +She has no whiskers and no fur. +Yet, like all cats, her dearest wish +Is just to be filled up with fish; +But (and this isn't so feline) +She always takes them steeped in brine. + + + + +[Illustration] + +GOLF LYNX + + +This is the merry Golf Lynx, as you see; +An amiable beast, and fond of tee. +Indigenous to all the country round, +His snaky length lies prone along the ground. +It is the fashion o'er this beast to rave, +But have a care, lest you become his slave. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE TRAVELING CRANE + + +The Traveling Crane's a bird, of course, +Yet he possesses wondrous force. +A bird of burden he must be, +He lifts and pulls so mightily. +And sometimes he will grasp his prey, +And with it rise and soar away. +His plumage is not fine, but then, +He's of the greatest use to men. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE FLYING BUTTRESS + + +The Flying Buttress, every day and night, +Continues in his long, unwearied flight. +He's not a song-bird, but he's said to be +Famed for his beauty and his Symmetry. +He frequents an old abbey or a manse; +The ostrich eats him if he gets a chance. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE SEA PUSS + + +In ocean waters the Sea Puss is found, +Cat-like, forever chasing round and round. +She has no claws, but crouching sly and low +She stealthily puts out her undertow. +And when an old seadog comes in her way +I'll warrant you there is the deuce to pay! + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE BATTERING RAM + + +This is the Battering Ram, a fearful beast, +I think he weighs a thousand tons at least. +Stronger than any other kind of butter, +He goes his way calmly, without a flutter. +Big as an elephant, bigger than a horse, +He seems the best example of brute force. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE SPRING CHICKEN + + +Here's the Spring Chicken. I have heard +They manufacture this queer bird +From bits of leather and of strings +All joined and worked by tiny springs. +Whenever this fine fowl is broiled, +Each of his springs should be well oiled, +Or he may spring across the room +And plunge his carver into gloom. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE SHUTTLECOCK + + +The Shuttlecock's a handsome fowl to see, +His feathers grow straight upward like a tree. +He cannot crow, but oftentimes his flight +Will reach up to a most astounding height. +He is a gamecock, and, in fighting trim, +There are not many birds that equal him. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE SAW-BUCK + + +The Saw-Buck is a fearsome beast. +The tramp objects to it, at least. +When to the housewife he applies +For coffee or for apple-pies, +Right speedily he'll turn and leave her +When he is seized with Saw-Buck Fever. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE PIGEON TOAD + + +The Pigeon Toad's a funny little beast, +He's found in every land from West to East. +The children bring him in, to our amaze, +And though we try to turn him out, he stays. +He's never seen with soldiers, nor with fops, +But with the schoolboys how he jumps and hops. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE GOLDEN BUCK + + +Perhaps because it's easily approached, +The Golden Buck's a game that's often poached. +'Tis sometimes mild, again 'tis strong and hearty, +It may be found at many a gay stag-party. +No branching antlers this strange beast adorn, +But with the Golden Buck we take a horn. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE BUMBLE PUPPY + + +This is the Bumblepuppy. He's quite tame, +Although he's said to be a sort of game. +You scorn him, yet you must--ah, there's the rub-- +Accept him at your table or your club. +He has his points, yet he's a pest, indeed; +I would we could exterminate the breed. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE WATCH DOG + + +This useful animal we keep +To guard our treasure while we sleep. +A pointer, not a setter, yet +He's of no use unless he's set. +Gaze on his open, honest face,-- +There's no deception in his case. +He is attached to us, 'tis plain, +Though often by a slender chain. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE GOLD EAGLE + + +Here's the Gold Eagle. Very rare. They say +This bird is worth ten dollars any day. +He has no wings, apparently, yet I +Or you, or anyone can make him fly. +He's very powerful--held in great esteem; +And money talks, so let the eagle scream. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE BUGBEAR + + +Of all the fearsome beasts beneath the sun +The Bugbear is the most appalling one. +At night he comes and hovers o'er our bed, +Filling us with a nameless fear and dread. +He is not half so terrible by day-- +Sometimes he shrinks and dwindles quite away. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE IRISH BULL + + +Among the stock jokes it is oft averred +The Irish Bull is best of all the heard. +He has no points, he has no head or tail, +But many a jovial party he'll regale. +And all his hearers will with laughter choke, +Except his brother John, who sees no joke. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE JAY + + +'Tis very strange, and yet, upon my word, +This silly fellow thinks he is a bird! +He lives on hayseed,--everywhere he's found, +But in the country he does most abound. +And at the approach of winter, (more's the pity), +A flock of jays will migrate to the city. + + + + +[Illustration] + +FOREBEARS + + +Misled by certain signs of form and shape, +Some think we are descended from the ape. +But recent science now the truth declares +The human race descended from Forebears. +And since we're so inclined to war, I'll wager +One of our Forebears was the Ursa Major. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE HIGH HORSE + + +The High Horse often takes a foremost place +Among the winners of the human race. +They say one needs both brawn and brain to ride him, +And even then 'tis very hard to guide him. +His jockeys gaily prance and boldly scoff, +But soon or late they're sure to tumble off. + + +The End. + + + * * * * * + +Books By + +CAROLYN WELLS + +Children of Our Town +Abeniki Caldwell +The Merry-Go-Round +A Phenomenal Fauna + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of A Phenomenal Fauna, by Carolyn Wells + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK A PHENOMENAL FAUNA *** + +***** This file should be named 24673.txt or 24673.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/7/24673/ + +Produced by Geetu Melwani and the Online Distributed +Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was +produced from images generously made available by The +Internet Archive/American Libraries.) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/24673.zip b/24673.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3b00534 --- /dev/null +++ b/24673.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
