A FUNNY LITTLE BOY.

A funny little chin,
A funny little nose,
A funny little grin,
Ten funny little toes.
Two funny little eyes,
And funny little hands,
How funnily he tries
To give his wee commands.
A funny little chat
With funny little bees,
A funny little cat
And funny toads and trees,
A funny little dress,
A funny laugh of joy,
May heaven ever bless
My funny little boy.
A funny little sigh,
A funny little head,
That funnily will try
To miss the time for bed.
A funny little peep
From funny eyes that gleam,
A funny little sleep,
A funny little dream.
December 4th, 1881.
