JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BABY by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

Last Line: To the very gate of heaven
Subject(s): BABIES;

Just a little bit of baby.

Twenty rounds and nothing more, ''"
See him floor his giant daddy.
Weight two hundred, six feet four.

Just a little bit of baby;
Any beauty? not a trace, ''"
See him stealing all the rosea
From his lovely mother's face.

Just a little bit of baby;
Ignorant as he can be, ''"
See him puztle all the sages
Of his learned family.

Just a little bit of baby ;
Walking? no; nor crawling, even, ''"
See him lead a dozen grown-ups
To the very gate of heaven!
