Lewis Carroll

Another Acrostic ( in the style of Father William )

“Are you deaf, Father William!” the young man said,
“Did you hear what I told you just now?
”Excuse me for shouting! Don’t waggle your head
“Like a blundering, sleepy old cow!
”A little maid dwelling in Wallington Town,
“Is my friend, so I beg to remark:
”Do you think she’d be pleased if a book were sent down
“Entitled ‘The Hunt of the Snark?’”
 
 
“Pack it up in brown paper!” the old man cried,
“And seal it with olive—and—dove.
”I command you to do it!" he added with pride,
“Nor forget, my good fellow to send her beside
”Easter Greetings, and give her my love."
