Mol,y's Dishes

Mcl.y's Dishes
When Molly slams the dishes round
And bangs the tins bad, too,
1 know she's itehin' for scrap
Or workin' up a stew"
And that it's no place thereabout
Fer me--so off walk
Cause all them sounds are warnin's
When Molly's dishes talk.
Then other times she'll move about
AS still as any mouse
There's notaa click of dish or tin
Within our little house.
Then l know Molly's dreamn' out
Some plan OF deep design
Fer Molly's dishes never speak
When Molly's 'on the pine"
Then other days. them l like best)
She works along with ease
She's hummin' little tunes-and
! things.
AS happy as you please.
The dishes whisper III the pam
There's neer a hitch or balk
I'm glad Con days like thistle know
That Molly's dishes talk.
