The folks all keep a-sayin'
%, Freddy, do be goodt
wonder why they can not know
o. course I would be if / could,
An I'd begin right now,
But how can anybody be
When no one tells him how2
When I try to write like mamma.
An Stop a little ink,
Nurse says: Z wish you would be good.
What will your mamma Think"
Papa is good an when like him
try to telephone,
Then Bessie says. o. do be goodi
And do let things alone!
Once when I tossed the baby,
Why, such fuss you never saw!
I can't be good that way.
1t isn't being good, you see,
To run, or shout. or jump
Or make Bose bark, or cry, if you
Fall down and get a bump.
It isn't good to handle things,
Or leave EN- anywhere;
To wind the clock, or grind the shears,
Or cut the Bitty's hair.
Mamma an me are SO 'scouraged,
An | wish at someone would
Just tell me what nice little boys
Do, when they're awful good.
