Ny brother WIN, he used to be
The incest kind of girl;
He wore a little dress. like me,
And had his hair in curl.
We played with dolls and tea-sets then,
And every kind of toy;
But all those good old times are gone
WIN turned into boy.
Mamma has made him little suits,
With pockets in the pants,
And cut Off all his yellow curls
And sent them to- my auuts;
And win. he was so pleased. l believe
He almost jumped with JOY;
But must own l didn't like
VIII turned into a boy.
And now he plays with horrid tops

And marbles that try to shoot,
But never hit nor win;
And leap-frog-I can't give n "baclx"
Like Charley, Frank or Roy
oh, no one knows how bad feel,
Since viii has turned boy.

And now they're mostly white,

While Will can climb and fight.
But must keep my dresses nice.
And wear my hair in curl.
And worst-oh, worstest thing of all
