BIRTHDAY TALK FOR A CHILD.

(IRIS.)

Daddy dear, I'm only four
And I'd rather not be more:
Four's the nicest age to be—
Two and two, or one and three.
All I love is two and two,
Mother, Fabian, Paul and you;
All you love is one and three,
Mother, Fabian, Paul and me.
Give your little girl a kiss
Because she learned and told you this.
