Poem by William Brighty Rands

A Big Noise

Twenty whales
Lashing their tails;
Twenty guns
Fired at once;
Twenty cats
Howling in flats;
Twenty parrots
Calling carrots.
Twenty apiece,
Besides, of these, —
Lions roaring,
Giants snoring,
Waggons rolling,
Bells tolling.
These together,
In stormy weather,
With a steam hammer,
Would make a clamour.

1. The Pedlar's Caravan
2. Martin, Martin
3. Little Miss Waver
4. Dressing the Doll
5. Clean Clara
