Poor Ern stood and shivered with fright
As he waited alone in the night.
It made it's approach,
In a glittering coach,
'Tis loving and giving that makes life worth living.

As he waited alone in the night.
It made it's approach,
In a glittering coach,
Quite heedless of Ern's dire sad plight.

When Fatty took Buster out walking
In the dark he heard someone talking,
'Go down to the side-shows by the river this afternoon. I'll meet you somewhere in disguise. Bet you won't know me!' wrote Fatty.

His pricked up his ears,
And stifled his fears,
And after the voice he went stalking...

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

His manly figure and looks made her swoon,
