BABY LANGUAGE.
| speak four different languages,
And comprehend three more,
But Baby-talk sure gets my goat"
And makes my palate sore,
cannot speak the Baby-talk
Or make them understand,
My intellect has failed to grasp
The speech of Baby-land;
do not "savey" Boozerlum
Or Toozerlum or Woozerlum
Or much about Gazoozerlum
Or any Fooler roozerium
Such language puts me on the bum
And makes me feel quite nutty-
some.
My wife can speak the Baby-tongue
With fluency and ease,
/ I've seen her pick our baby up
And hold him on her knees.
And then she'd hug and cuddle him
And bite him on the nose,
And tickle both his ears and chin,
And pinch his little toes,
Anu tdli MN ibAit iOOLtiiuiis
And "Mommie's Oozy Doozerlum,"
And then she'd give the little bum
His bottle of Gazoozerlum.
Now language such as that, | think,
Would make Teller take to drink.
