The Re-echo Club: as by Thomas Bailey Aldrich

by Carolyn Wells 1862–1942

From The Re-echo Club

Living

Somewhere in some faked nature place,
In Wonderland, in Nonsense Land,
Two darkling shapes met face to face,
And bade each other stand.

"And who are you?" said each to each;
"Tell me your title, anyhow."
One said, "I am the Papal Bull,"
"And I the Purple Cow."

A parody by Carolyn Wells, written in the manner of Thomas Bailey Aldrich as a contribution to the imagined Re-Echo Club (Purple Cow).
