warned that the utterance of prayer
would bring violence from the gather

With kisses like yours, mamma, that's
what mean.

But kisses don't taste good which
have such smell.
It's nasty to smoke and eat 'bacco
and spit;
And the kisses amt good and amt

And her blossom-like face wore a
look of disgust,
AS she gave out her verdict so earn
