Robert's Thoughtless Brothers

Title:     Robert's Thoughtless Brothers
Author: Elizabeth Turner [More Titles by Turner]

Robert, when an infant, heard
Now and then a naughty word,
Spoken in a random way
By his brothers when at play.
Was the baby then to blame
When he tried to lisp the same?

No! he could not, whilst so young,
Know what words were right or wrong,
But for boys who better knew,
Punishment was justly due,
Which the thoughtless brothers met
In a way they won't forget.

[The end]
