TIM'S GRACE

When Baby Tim, who's very small,
Says grace for me, and Nurse, and Paul,
He asks the Lord to make us all
‘Ter-looly fankful.’
And if we laugh till we are red,
Nurse strokes his sandy-coloured head,
And loves him more because he said
‘Ter-looly fankful.’
For when he's older, Nursie says,
And grown from all his pretty ways,
She'll often miss his funny phrase,
‘Ter-looly fankful.’
