A poem by Laurence Alma-Tadema

The Little Sister -- Bath-Time, Bed-Time

________________________________________________
Title:     The Little Sister -- Bath-Time, Bed-Time
Author: Laurence Alma-Tadema [More Titles by Alma-Tadema]

BATH-TIME:

Baby's got no legs at all,
They're soft and pinky, crumpled things;
If he stood up he'd only fall:
But then, you see, he's used to wings.


BED-TIME:

Baby baby bye,
Close your little eye!
When the dark begins to creep,
Tiny-wees must go to sleep.

Lammy lammy lie,
I am seven, I;
Little boys must sleep and wait,
If they want their bed-time late.

Fidgy fidgy fie,
There's no need to cry!
Soon you'll never dress in white,
But sit up working half the night....


[The end]
