Father Goose, His Book

By Lyman Frank Baum

Standing on the Sidewalk

Standing on the Sidewalk

Standing on the sidewalk,
   As if it were his lair,
      Before McFarlan`s window,
        Was a big black Bear,
His eyes were very small and fierce
      And wickedly did glare,
  A fact which all the children did deplore.

But never once
  he left his post,
In weather foul or fair,
And though this may surprise you,
  It won`t when I declare
This awful brute was stuffed,
And McFarlan put him there
   To serve
        as sign before his
        clothing store!
