 * Said, ", what does this mean?"

And despairing
 * Said, "They think us uncommonly green!
 * Ha! ha! most uncommonly green!"

 * We have come for our dinners, my dears!"

 * Was eaten by ,

And light-hearted ,
 * By dismal —
 * Despairing.

And rollicking
 * Was eaten by ,

And musical
 * By good little —
 * Exemplary !
