If it’s not too much imposition,
I’ll boast of my son’s disposition:
He likes his teacher, he likes school;
He is considerate, as a rule;
He’s seldom in a pouty mood;
He isn’t fussy as to food;
He thinks his father isn’t old;
He goes to bed when he is told;
I’ve seen him fall, and, from the -ground,
Grin and make no slightest sound;
He’ll come for lunch at just a call;
He’s quite good-natured, after all,
Except that if you’d see him lose
His temper, mention overshoes!
