Do You Know Herr

I have little friend who doesn't like tc
mend,
no dust, or set the table, or even make
Il bed;
The very thought Of sweeping nearly sets
her oil a-wccping,
And she always goes about it as though
her feet were lead.
She "hatcs" to rock the baby, and says
that some day, maybe,
She'll go away, and lingcr where they
have no babies round
TO keep folks busy rocking-but really
this is shocking,
And she doesn't mean Il word OF what
she says, will bc bound.
"ris true she can not bear to even walk Il
square
TO buy spool of cotton, or stamps
for mammals mail,
And it's much against her wishes that
she's set to washing dishes,
While to speak of darnin" stockings is
enough to make her pale.
In fact, she wants to Shrk everything re
scmhling work,
And the only thing she docs enjoy, Sc
far rs | can say,
Is to take her doll and book, and within
some quiet nook
TO read of elves and fairies, and dream
the hours away.
