Book Description
The Wit And Humor Of America (Volume IX): Edited By Marshall P. Wilder (Library Edition) This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Book Description
They all climbed up on a high board-fence-Nine little Goblins, with green-glass eyes-Nine little Goblins that had no sense, And couldn't tell coppers from cold mince pies;And they all climbed up on the fence, and sat-And I asked them what they were staring at.And the first one said, as he scratched his headWith a queer little arm that reached out of his earAnd rasped its claws in his hair so red-"This is what this little arm is fer!"And he scratched and stared, and the next one said"How on earth do you scratch your head?"And he laughed like the screech of a rusty hinge-Laughed and laughed till his face grew black;And when he choked, with a final twingeOf his stifling laughter, he thumped his backWith a fist that grew on the end of his tailTill the breath came back to his lips so pale.And the third little Goblin leered round at me-And there were no lids on his eyes at all-And he clucked one eye, and he says, says he,"What is the style of your socks this fall?"And he clapped his heels-and I sighed to seeThat he had hands where his feet should be.Then a bald-faced Goblin, gray and grim, Bowed his head, and I saw him slipHis eyebrows off, as I looked at him, And paste them over his upper lip;And then he moaned in remorseful pain-"Would-Ah, would I'd me brows again!"And then the whole of the Goblin bandRocked on the fence-top to and fro, And clung, in a long row, hand in hand, Singing the songs that they used to know-Singing the songs that their grandsires sungIn the goo-goo days of the Goblin-tongue.And ever they kept their green-glass eyesFixed on me with a stony stare-Till my own grew glazed with a dread surmise, And my hat whooped up on my lifted hair, And I felt the heart in my breast snap toAs you've heard the lid of a snuff-box do.And they sang, "You're asleep! There is no board-fence, And never a Goblin with green-glass eyes!-'Tis only a vision the mind inventsAfter a supper of cold mince-pies, -And you're doomed to dream this way," they said, -"And you sha'n't wake up till you're clean plum dead!"

Book Description
Excerpt from The Wit and Humor of America, Vol. 9 They all climbed up on a high board-fence Nine little Goblins, with green-glass eyes Nine little Goblins that had no sense, And couldn't tell coppers from cold mince pies; And they all climbed up on the fence, and sat And I asked them what they were staring at. And the first one said, as he scratched his head With a queer little arm that reached out of his ear And rasped its claws in his hair so red This is What this little arm is fer! And he scratched and stared, and the next one said How on earth do you scratch your head? And he laughed like the screech of a rusty hinge Laughed and laughed till his face grew black; And when he choked, with a final twinge Of his stiļ¬‚ing laughter, he thumped his back With a fist that grew on the end of his tail Till the breath came back to his lips so pale. And the third little Goblin leered round at me And there were no lids on his eyes at all And he clucked one eye, and he says, says he, What is the style of your socks this fall? And he clapped his heels - and I sighed to see That he had hands where his feet should be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
