This week's poem is taken from Ringgold Wilmer "Ring" Lardner's <b>Bib Ballads</b> book of poetry about his child.  In his Forward he says<br><br>
<i>Dear Parents:—Don't imagine, please,<br>
It's in a boastful spirit<br>
I fashion verses such as these;...<br>
...But babes are babes, and mine, no doubt,<br>
Is very much like others. </i>
