Show SHE HAS NO OCCUPATION j (Elsie Duncan Yale in Woman's Home Companion.) She rises up at break of day. And through her tasks she races; She cooks the meal as best she may. And scrubs the children's faces. While schoolbooks, lunches, ribbons, too, All need consideration, And yet the census man insists She has "no occupation." ii ' When breakfast dishes all are done. She bakes a pudding, maybe; She cleans the rooms up one by one, With one eye watching baby; The mending pile she then attacks, By way of variation, And yet the census man insists She has "no occupation." She irons for a little while, Then presses pants for daddy; She welcomes with a cheery smile Returning lass and laddie. A hearty dinner next she cooks (No time for relaxation), And yet the census man insists She has "no occupation." For lessons that the children learn The evening" scarce is ample. To "mother dear" they always turn. For help with each example. In grammar and geography j She finds her relaxation, And yet the census man Insists '' She has "no occupation." |
