Show S Heart's Desire 1 ; a fij by Barton Reese Pogua f ji In Farmer's Guide jj I WISH we had some youngsters, But we ain't; We'd like to have somebody Daub and paint His 'nitials on the wagon shed, Put a turtle in our bed, Shave his little sister's head But we ain't. It would surely be a pleasure Havin' them, A-(bcin' Christmas presents All for them, A-makin' ships and what-me-nots, Little frocks with polka dots And entertainin' little tots. Just for them. Seems some folks that have them Rather'd not, And seme, the worse they are. The more they've got. Funny how this life is made, Some of sunshine, some of shade But poorly mixed for some who've prayed A lot. Oh, wish we had some kiddies But we ain't; I suppose we've not a reason For complaint, But to'see you buyin' toys For your laughing girls and boys, Seems we ought to share your joys But we cain't. |
