A Man with a Nickel
A man with a nickel,
A sword, and a sickle,
A pipe, and a

paper of pins
Set out for the Niger
To capture a

tiger--
And that's how my story begins.

When he saw the

wide ocean,
He soon took a notion
'T would be nicer to

stay with his friends.
So he traded his hat
For a

tortoise-shell cat--
And that's how the chronicle ends.
