What Bobby Said

I don’t think it’s right!
  I don’t think it’s fair!
I don’t like Easter
  At all! so there!

It’s only because
  I’m young, you see,
They think they can play
  Their tricks upon me.

They brought me an egg,
  And a beauty, too!
All golden yellow,
  With stripes of blue.

They said ’twas a true egg,
  A truly true!
And, of course, I supposed
  It was so all through;

But when it was opened,
  Just think what a shame!
’Twas just like the white ones,
  Just ‘zactly the same!

Part white and part yellow,
  No bit of it blue,
And it tasted the same
  As the other ones, too.

I don’t think it’s right,
  And I don’t think it’s fair,
And I don’t like Easter
  At all! so there!
