I was reading in the paper
just yesterday, I think,
About an eastern medico,
A baby expert gink.
He instructed all us parents
How to raise our progeny,
We must never kiss the baby,
Never trot it on our knee;
Just let the little duffer lie
In its sterile bastinet
And keep our hands behind US
Lest BY chance We should forget
And put a tainted finger
Upon the little pet.
And I thought Of daddy's kiddO,
In our own mos; humble home.
And ! wondered If that doctor
Had a baby Of his own.
