TO MY PET

DOLLY, YOU'RE
A NAUGHTY GIRL,
ALL YOUR HAIR
IS OUT OF CURL,
AND YOU'VE TORN
YOUR LITTLE SHOE.
OH! WHAT MUST
I DO WITH YOU?
YOU SHALL ONLY
HAVE DRY BREAD,
DOLLY, YOU SHALL
GO TO BED.

DO YOU HEAR,
MISS, WHAT I SAY?
ARE YOU GOING
TO OBEY?
THAT'S WHAT MOTHER
SAYS TO ME,
SO I KNOW IT'S
RIGHT, YOU SEE;
FOR SOMETIMES
I'M NAUGHTY, TOO.
DOLLY, DEAR, AS
WELL AS YOU.
