A Housekeeper's Troubles

A HOUSEKEEPER'S TROUBLES.

Dollie's wet her

Feet to get her

Posies, in the morning dew;

Sure to be sick -

Cold or colic -

Like as not the measles too.

There is Freddy,

Always ready

Into awful 'fairs to fall:

Bad as Rosy -

Doodness knows, I

Don't know how to manage 't all!

Jack or Norah 's

Telled a story!

One or fuver ate ma's cake!

While there's silly,

Greedy Willy

Got a drefful stomach-ache!

Naughty Bessie

Tored her dress; she

Wants an aver one, I s'pose;

I tell you what,

It tates a lot

Of work to teep my dolls in tose!
