Nell the Nibbler
She ate some chocolate drops at 1,
At 2, she thought she’d take
A little jelly and a bun;
At 3, some frosted cake.
At 4, she nibbled at a roll;
At 5, a doughnut spied,
And ate it (all except the hole),
And then some cookies tried.
At 6, she didn’t feel quite right,
And didn’t care for dinner.
She said she had no appetite,
With so much Goop-food in her!
Whenever brother’s sent to bed,
Or punished, do not go
And peer at him and jeer at him,
And say, “I told you so!”
Nor should you try to make him laugh
When he has been so bad;
Let him confess his naughtiness
Before you both are glad!
