Part 2 (2/2)

AUNTIE, did you feel no pain Falling from that apple tree?

Will you do it, please, again?

'Cos my friend here didn't see.

[Ill.u.s.tration]

Baby

BABY in the caldron fell,-- See the grief on Mother's brow; Mother loved her darling well,-- Darling's quite hard-boiled by now.

[Ill.u.s.tration: ”_Darling's quite hard-boiled by now._”]

Nurse's Mistake

NURSE, who peppered baby's face (She mistook it for a m.u.f.fin), Held her tongue and kept her place, ”Laying low and sayin' nuffin'”; Mother, seeing baby blinded, Said, ”Oh, nurse, how absent-minded!”

The Stern Parent

FATHER heard his Children scream, So he threw them in the stream, Saying, as he drowned the third, ”Children should be seen, _not_ heard!”
