'Racy, The Rural River Rat' ran

to old Ralph the Rottens broken

little tomato stand

to try to get her mean step mother Maude

some fresh ruby ripe apples

but, when Racy got there

Ralph laughed at her like a mad hungry

heir

and said, Racy My dear

you are ever so queer

tomatoes and apples are not one in the same

simply because they both are red

so Racy raced disappointedly home

without even one little apple in her paw

for she knew unlike most

not how to get to Art Cart's ugly apple stand

at all............................
