First Line: I TOO HAVE A GARRET OF OLD PLAYTHINGS
Last Line: I TOO HAVE A GARRET OF OLD PLAYTHINGS.
Subject(s): ATTICS; TOYS;
I TOO have a garret of old playthings.
I have tin soldiers with broken arms upstairs.
I have a wagon and the wheels gone upstairs.
I have guns and a drum, a jumping-jack and a magic lantern.
And dust is on them and I never look at them upstairs.
I too have a garret of old playthings.
