The Yak
As a friend to the children commend me the Yak. You will find it exactly the thing: It will carry and fetch, you can ride on its back, Or lead it about with a string. The tartar who dwells on the plains of Tibet (A desolate region of snow) Has for centuries made it a nursery pet, And surely the Tartar should know! Then tell your papa where the yak can be got, And if he is awfully rich He will buy you the creature - or else he will not, (I can not be positive which.) by Hilaire Belloc |

Fog
The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on. by Carl Sandburg |
