    While coming up the College stair,
She met a little doggy there,.
Catching it up in her arms, she pressed
It very tightly to her breast,
And when she kissed it as most girls do,
I said " I wish I were a doggy too,"

Which did somewhat her looks enhance,
Then .turned she up her little nose
And struck a very tragic pose
And said in accents soft and low,
" Never mind puppy you'll grow."
