A Sick Man In The House

A baby may be troublesome,
For children tune and fret,
But would rather care for one,
Most any day, you bet,
Than have a sick man in the
house,
To wait upon, because
A sick man never, never gives
A woman time to pause
It's Nellie, get me this and
that.
And ring the doctor up"
It's Nellie, bring me something
good,
I'd like a bit and sup"
It's Nellie, soothe my aching
brow"
And Nellie, read a book;
Aud there are patches on my
throat.
l wish you'd take a look"
He wants attention all the
while,
And doesn't think it right
If wife tor a minute should
Be called out of his sight.
It's wait upon him hand and
foot,
OF all the things, I'm sure,
A sick man in the house is tar
The hardest to endure.
In this all men appear alike
When sickness brings them
low;
They're worse than babies to
attend,
More childish, too, they grow,
Aud so my sympathy goes out
To every doting spouse.
Who knows just what it means
to have
A sick man in the house.

to do a little withdrawing and
