Explore "Holland (the Baby's Baedeker)" by Harry Graham on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This country is extremely flat, / Just like your father's head, and were / It not for dykes and things like that / There would not be much country there, / For, if these banks should broken be, / What now is land would soon be sea.
So, any child who glory seeks, / And in a dyke observes a hole, / Must hold his finger there for weeks, / And keep the water from its goal, / Until the local plumbers come, / Or other persons who can plumb.
