When Papa's S Sick.

When Papa's sick, my goodness saket
Such awful, awful times it makes,
He speaks in, ohl such lonesome tones
And gives such ghas'ly kind of groans,
And rolls his eyes and holds his head,
And makes ma help him up to bed;
While Sis and Bridget run to heat
Hot water bags to warm his feet,
And must get, tho doctor quick
We have to jump when papa's sick.
When papa's sick ma has to stand
Right side the bed and hold his hand,
While Sis she has to fan ap' fan,
For he says he's "a dyin' man,.
And wants the children round him to
Be there when "suffcrin pa get.
through" ....
He says he wants to say good by
And kiss us all and then he'll die:
Then means and says his "breathin':
thick" -
It's awful sad when papa's sick.
When papas sick ho acts that way,
Until he hears the doctor say,
you've only got cold you know
You'll be all right in n day or So"
And then--well, say. yo,i ought to see,
He's different as he can be,
And growls and swears from noon to
night
just cause his dinner amt cooked
right
And all he does is fuss and kick
We're all used up when rapa's sick.
