THE SUPERIOR BOYS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Tom and charles once took a walk
Last Line: To talking put a stop
Subject(s): Boys


TOM and Charles once took a walk,
To see a pretty lamb;
And, as they went, began to talk
Of little naughty Sam,

Who beat his younger brother, Bill,
And threw him in the dirt;
And when his poor mamma was ill,
He teased her for a squirt.

"And I," said Tom, "won't play with Sam,
Although he has a top":
But here the pretty little lamb
To talking put a stop
