No matter how strong our love for them’s been,
If there’s a time we would cheerfully dump any,
It’s when tots’ve been noisy for days, and then
Refuse to say boo in front of company.
(original 10-17-1949)
Though our love for our children is ever so strong,
If there’s one time we’d cheerfully dump any,
It’s when they’ve been noisy all the day long,
Then refuse to say boo in front of company.
(Rev. 9-30-1949)
Why is it that children,
Noisy all week,
Will shut up like clams
If guests ask them to speak?
(Rev. 9-30-1949)
