They're at me all the day, There's not an hour between! I have no time for play I think they're very mean. For every minute's taken up in being gotten clean. They wash and clean and scrub, Although I've clothes to wear; All day they comb and rub, And brush my teeth and hair. At five o'clock I have a bath while grown folks come and stare. Now, Pete! Don't leave this spot Until I've gotten through. The things that hurt a lot Are what is best for you I guess what's good for baby boys is good for doggies too. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SECRET FLAME: CAPRICE by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE BATHERS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN SPRING DAY: BATH by AMY LOWELL GLOIRE DE DIJON by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE THE GROOMING by PATTIANN ROGERS MY BATH by JOHN STUART BLACKIE A BABY AT THE PARTY by BURGES JOHNSON |
