Loyalty
Mother’s found your mischief out!
What are you going to do?
Cry and sulk, or kick and shout?
Tell your mother all about
Brother’s mischief, too?
Or,
Take your punishment, and say,
“I’ll be better, now!”
Never mind the horrid way
Brother treated you, at play;
Don’t tell it, anyhow!
It is the Goops, who have no shame,
Who say, “’Twas some one else to blame!”
