Explore "The Funny Little Fellow" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
'Twas a Funny Little Fellow / Of the very purest type, / For he had a heart as mellow / As an apple over ripe; / And the brightest little twinkle / When a funny thing occurred, / And the lightest little tinkle / Of a laugh you ever heard!
His smile was like the glitter / Of the sun in tropic lands, / And his talk a sweeter twitter / Than the swallow understands; / Hear him sing -- and tell a story -- / Snap a joke -- ignite a pun, -- / 'Twas a capture -- rapture -- glory, / An explosion -- all in one!
