A Terrible Infant

I recollect a nurse call'd Ann,
Who carried me about the grass,
And one fine day a fine young man
Came up, and kissed the pretty lass.
She did not make the least objection!
Thinks I, "Aha!
When I can talk I'll tell Mamma"
— And that's my earliest recollection.

    Forgetting which side their bread is buttered on...mac
    Cute as the kid I bet. Makes one remember--Love this little ditty.

    Great

    I love this poem.

  • Excellent

    A splendid little poem. Succinct.

  • Not so 'terrible' I should think...

    I want to to assume the "fine young man" was his father.
