With all your mishaps, you are never a spoon âYou re as brave as a lion and wise as a coon. Well, well, young master, maybe its so,And maybe it isnt. But this I know :It just brings trouble and mischief and slaughter.To be fussin around where one hadnt ought ten l66 RHYMES AND JINGLES. UP IN A BALLOON. We all went up in a big balloon â Father, Uncle, Freddy, and I ;The band struck up a beautiful tune, And all the populace waved good-bye. At first it wavered, and jerked and swayed,And father asked : ** Do you feel afraid ? But I laughed : Oh, no ! It is grand to go ;And so he called me his brave little maid. Up we went. Oh, ever so high ! Up, till we must have touched the sky; Town, river, and bay. All faded away, âAnd then poor Freddy began to cry :I want to get out, he screamed, *oh, my! Up, up, we went, and on we sailed ;While still poor Freddy wept and wailed. He jumped about. And tried to get out ;And so we soon went down, down, down.And tied the balloon to a tree in town.
