A TERRIBLE INFANT by FREDERICK LOCKER-LAMPSON

First Line: I RECOLLECT A NURSE CALL'D ANN
Last Line: "-- AND THAT'S MY EARLIEST RECOLLECTION."
Subject(s): BABIES; NURSES; WOMEN; INFANTS;
I RECOLLECT a nurse call'd Ann,
Who carried me about the grass,
And one fine day a fine young man
Came up, and kiss'd the pretty lass.
She did not make the least objection!
Thinks I, @3"Aha!
When I can talk I'll tell Mamma"@1
-- And that's my earliest recollection."
