‘Blow and bother, drat it all!
I’ve had enough of this.
If I spring clean the whole day long
I don’t know what I’ll miss.’
So he scraped and scratched and scrabbled
And scrooged, then scrooged some more,
Calling, ‘Up, up, up we go!’
Till his little paws were sore.
Then at last his velvet snout
Pushed through the soft dark ground;
And trembling with excitement
He took a look around.
