Home and thrive
Through a successful life of crime,
The Artist hopes that you will see
That I am to be thanked, not he!
Fond parent, you whose children are
Of tender age (from two to eight),
Pray keep this little volume far
From reach of such, and relegate
My verses to an upper shelf,—
Where you may study them yourself.

"He had such good cigars."Uncle Joe
AN Angel bore dear Uncle Joe
To rest beyond the stars.
I miss him, oh! I miss him so,—
He had such good cigars.
To rest beyond the stars.
I miss him, oh! I miss him so,—
He had such good cigars.
Impetuous Samuel
SAM had spirits naught could check,
And to-day, at breakfast, he
Broke his baby sister's neck,
So he shan't have jam for tea!

Inconsiderate Hannah
NAUGHTY little Hannah said
She could make her grandma whistle,
So, that night, inside her bed
Placed some nettles and a thistle.
Though dear grandma quite infirm is,
Heartless Hannah watched her settle,
With her poor old epidermis
Resting up against a nettle.
Suddenly she reached the thistle!
My! you should have heard her whistle!
She could make her grandma whistle,
So, that night, inside her bed

Heartless Hannah watched her settle,
With her poor old epidermis
Resting up against a nettle.
Suddenly she reached the thistle!
My! you should have heard her whistle!
. . . . . . .
A successful plan was Hannah's,
But I cannot praise her manners.

IN the drinking-well
(Which the plumber built her)
Aunt Eliza fell,—
We must buy a filter.
