Show f I . . . ! DELICATE. j Little Willie isn't well ." Seems to have a bilious spoil. We're afraid he's delicate. . (Had some apple-tarts at eight; Nine o'clock 'twas cookies; then Followed ginger-cakes at ten. At. eleven slipped around And some cheese and doughnuts found.) Didn't heed the dinner-bell; Wouldn't eat; he isn't well. Little Willie isn't well (One o'clock 'twas bread "and jell; Two o'clock 'twas pumpkin pie; Three, some cake upon the sly; Maple caramels at four; Hick'ry nuts at five galore) For when supper-time came he Was as languid as could be! What can ail the boy. Do toll. Little Willie, isn't well. Little Willie isn't well. Send for good old Doctor Dell; Willie doesn't feel "just right" . Hasn't any appetite; Wouldn't dinner, supper, eat, Though his mamma did entreat, i Is it chicken-pox, you think ? Should he have some milk to drink? Give him nux? Or calomel? Little Willie isn't well. ' Edwin L. Sabin in Woman's Home Companion. |
