WHO WAS IT?
Once there was a maiden who wouldn't be polite; Wouldn't say ' Good morning ' and wouldn't say ' Good night!' Felt it too much trouble to think of saying ' Please,' Slammed the door behind her as if she'd been a breeze; Wouldn't ask her mother if she could take a run; Ran away and lost herself because it was ' such fun.' Merry little maiden ! Isn't it too bad That, with all her laughter, sometimes she was sad? But the reason for it isn't hard to find, For this little maiden didn't like to mind; Wouldn't do the things she knew she really ought to do. Who was she? Oh, never mind; I hope it wasn't you.
