Said my daughter, Pinky Winky,
Pinky Winky young and tender,
With a cheek as red as roses,
With a lip like a ripe cherry:
Father, dearest Father, tell me
What it's best to have for breakfast!
Said |, darling Pinky Winky,
Proud it makes my heart paternal
To perceive this thirst for knowledge;
Such a laudible enquiry
Should be answered, who can doubt it;
Therefore, dearest Pinky Winky,
Since you ask me l will answer,
] will answer, | will tell you,
Possible it may be Liver.
At this only bare suggestion,
Pinky Winky slightly shuddered,
Saying with some hesitation,
Liver is the food of paupers,
To be eaten but with mustard;
Mustard which is hot and firery,
And is apt to burn the guIlet.
Then, renewing the enquiry:
Father, dearest Father, tell me,
Tell your fond, devoted daughter,
What it's best to have for breakfast!
Said /, with a deep emotion,
While my heart o'eriowed with kindness
dearest Ittle l0ky Wlnky,
Since you ask me | will answer.
will answer, l will tell you,
1t will probably be Sausage.
At this answer, Pinky Winky
Turned her little saucy nose up,
Saying pertly, smartly, tartly:
Sausage, sausage, always sausage
! am tired to death of sausage
Sausages are fat and greasy,
Sometimes made It's said of puppies;
Puppies juvenile and tender,
Which come to their end untimely.
No, my venerable Father,
Ii you love your Pinky Winky.
Don't by any means have sausage!
Then again my Pinky Winky
Asked, with question pertinarious:
Father, dearest Father, tell me,
Tell your fond and loving daughter,
What it's best to have for breakfast!
Now felt my anger rising,
And a rising of my dander;
Said |, with some irritation;
Since you persevere in asking,
Pinky Winky, Pinky Winky,
will answer, l will tell you
Said |, in a voice emphatic.
Which can only be compared
To the sound Of rolling thunder,
Which rever' brates from the mountains;
Or the sound of raging whirlwind,
When it scatteTs wide destruction;
Or the sound of mighty waters
AT the cataract of Niagara;
Or the sound of booming cannon,
Spreading widely death and caruagei
Or the braying of the trumpet,
Urging on the charing squadron;
Or the n~eighing Of the wal horse,
As he rushed 10 the battle.
Said /, in a voice emphatic:
Then it must be buck srheaf paxcakes.
As a fair and blighted lily
Drops beneath the fervfd sunbeam;
AS the grass, oppressed with moisture,
Drops with weight of pearly dew-drops,
Dropped the head of Pinky Winky;
While her tears in gushing torrents
Fell in puddles on the table,;
Deep her bosom heaved with anguish,
Sadly in a voice of sorrow,
And of tender melancholy,
Sad she ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS pamcakesi S
