DOLLY'S LESSON.
Come here, you nigoramus ! I’m ’shamed to have to ’fees You don’t know any letter ’Cept just your cookie S. Now listen, and I’ll tell you— This round hole’s name is O, And when yon put a tail in It makes it Q, you know. And if it has a front door To walk in at, it’s C. Then make a seat right here To sit on, and it’s G. And this tall letter, dolly, Is I, and stands for me ; And when it puts a hat on, It makes a cup o' T. And curly I is J, dear, And half of B is P. And E without his slippers on Is only F, you see ! You turn A upside downwards, And people call it V ; And if it’s twins, like this one, W ’twill be. Now, dolly, when you learn ’em. You’ll know a great big heap— Most much’s I— O dolly ' I b’lieve you’ve gone asleep !
