THE ORDERLY CHILD.
BY Doris w ebb.

BY DOTS Wsppa
A good little orderly child would be nice
And pick all her toys of the floor:
4 good little child wouldn't tease for cake
And after she got it want more.
good little orderly child wouldn't soil
A dress that was spick and span new:
good little child wouldn't mess with the
ink
And mix it-for fun-with the glue.
She never would talk and she never would
fuss.
Shed never knock over a chair
A good little orderly child would be nice
But how would YOU know she was there?
