Said a squirrel who raced with a fan:
“You are built on a wonderful plan;
But you’d better take care
Or you’ll lose all you hair.
I advise you to stop, if you can.”

[Oliver Herford in The Century Magazine. Vol. LXXXV, April 1913, no. 6, p. 962.]

“Good gracious!” cried Miss Cockatoo,
“Whatever on earth shall I do?
Bright colors to-day
Have gone out, and they say
High head-dresses now are taboo.”

[Oliver Herford in The Century Magazine. Vol. LXXXIV, July 1912, no. 3, p. 479.]
