Lullaby
Mother, is your little boy Far from being a perfect joy? Is he sickly, small and stupid? Does he mock the aim of Cupid? Is he nasty, mean and vicious? Are his habits all pernicious? Is, in short, your little terror Something of a human error, A likely prospect for a berth In Alcatraz or Leavenworth? ■. . . Don't lament and tear your hair But guard him with a tender care, Coddle him, obey his fancies And never spank his pantsy-wansies Bless your little second-rater— He will make a swell dictator I —Aubrey Wallace in The Judge. New York.
