First Line: Whatever brawls disturb the street
Last Line: Fall out and chide and fight.
Subject(s): Family Life; Mnemonics; Relatives
WHATEVER brawls disturb the street,
There should be peace at home:
Where sisters dwell and brothers meet,
Quarrels should never come.
Birds in their little nests agree;
And 'tis a shameful sight,
When children of one family
Fall out and chide and fight.
