My Auntie Jo Makes a mouth like an "O" Whenever I pull my surprises; If I'm off on a bat Or on something like that, Great grief! The old girl criticizes! As for giving a ball, That's no trouble at all; Why, you do her a favor to let her. Because the old girl Likes that kind of a whirl, And the more guests invited the better. My Auntie Jo Makes a fish mouth, an "O," But this is what's sure me to tickle; Any old while That a thing seems the style, My Auntie will shoot the whole nickel. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SONG OF A HEATHEN by RICHARD WATSON GILDER TO SIR HENRY CARY by BEN JONSON EPITAPHS OF THE WAR, 1914-18: BOMBER IN LONDON by RUDYARD KIPLING THE HOUSE OF LIFE: 6.
