Explore "The Two Little Skeezucks" by Eugene Field on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There were two little skeezucks who lived in the isle / Of Boo in a southern sea; / They clambered and rollicked in heathenish style / In the boughs of their cocoanut tree. / They didn't fret much about clothing and such / And they recked not a whit of the ills / That sometimes accrue / From having to do / With tailor and laundry bills.
The two little skeezucks once heard of a Fair / Far off from their native isle, / And they asked of King Fan if they mightn't go there / To take in the sights for awhile. / Now old King Fan / Was a good-natured man / (As good-natured monarchs go), / And howbeit he swore that all Fairs were a bore, / He hadn't the heart to say "No."
