To God for having been so good

Look at the birds, how they build their
own nests;
Watch the brown bees always toiling
their best;
Put your own hand to the pillow II you'd

Don't waste your moments in wishing,
but strive"
Up in her face looked a mischievous elf,
Don't forget darling" said she, help
yourself"

sleep;

house clock,
Flooding along with its warning tic
took;
Out from the pantry there came loud
crash;
Pussy jumped up from the hearth in a
flash.
Back to her chair came this practical
boy,
STEPPED to his ears in jam, custard and
joy.
Frightened, he cried, please, I've upset
the shelf;
Grandma, minded, l did help myself"
