ONLY A GIRL.
(In answer to Jessica's '"Only a Boy.") Only a girl, but one of fame, A girl who has a, poetical name, Dimpled cheeks and hair in curl, Frizzy end fussy, she's only a girl. Only a girl who loves her dress, She never gets herself in a mess; Only a girl, with ways so coy — But, oh! what a contrast to a boy! Doesn't play football, can't fly a kite, Never steals apples, always does right, Straightens things out when they get m a. whirl — , Mother's best helpmate, thougn only r. girlOnly a girl, whom boys love to tease, Always so natty and hard to please, Makes fine toflee, our clothes she'll mendOnly n girl, but a boy's best friend. Could you only his heart unfurl, Where is the boy who likes not a girl? Though he teases and scoffs and tries tQ annoy, In his inmost heart she is his joy. Only a girl— one of Dot's girls— A rising poetess, and as time unfurls Rex banner of fame, we Lope to spy Jessica's name emblr.ao aed on high. - -BOY.
