from the toy box
                           a rattle twas taken
                                                         and twas most
                                                                ­                 vigorously shaken
though its noise
                         did goad the ears
                                                     Mr Jones defied
                                                                ­              the loud spears

for he knew
                 the efficacy of ear muffs
                                                         they'd screen out
                                                                                     those boisterous bluffs
