Gently patted each steed's spine,
Felt their necks, so sleek and fine.
After he had gazed his fill,
He turned round with right goodwill,
Saying: "My good people, who
Owns these handsome chargers two?
Who's the master?" Here, Ivan,
Arms akimbo, like a Pan*,
Pushed his brothers both aside,
Puffed his cheeks and proudly cried:
"Tsar, these steeds belong to me,
I'm their owner, too, you see."
"Will you sell them to me, say?"
"No, I'm swapping them today."
"What will you be taking, then?"
"Twice five caps-and that makes ten,
Full of silver-that's my price!"
So the coins were in a trice
Counted out-the Tsar, in pleasure,
Gave five rubles for good measure-
Generous a tsar was he!
Ten grey grooms in livery,
Trimmed with gold and silver slashes,
Each with gaily coloured sashes,
Each with saffian whip in hand,
Took the horses' bridles, and
Led them to the Royal Palace,
But the steeds, in play, or malice,
Tripped their grooms and straightway r
Bridles broken, to Ivan.

Joke
Sir!
How dare you?
-
Here, hold my horse a minute, will you?
- Sir, I am a member of the Congress.
- Never mind! You look honest. I'll take a chance.
What
a pity!

Himbledon had just got a set of new teeth and went away for a holiday. His
wife knowing how easily a set of teeth can be lost if you are bathing in a
rough sea, wrote to him saying: "Take care not to wear your new teeth
when you are bathing in the sea".
He
wrote back: "Why didn't you telegraph?"
