PREPETUAL MOTION by JOHN J. EBERHARDT

First Line: WHEN MY LITTLE GIRL WITH CHEEKS AGLOW
Last Line: TILL HE HIPPETY-HOPS IT THROUGH.
Subject(s): CHILDREN; CHILDHOOD;

When my little girl with cheeks aglow
Comes romping home from town,
She hippety-hoppeties up the hill
And she hippety-hoppeties down;
And when I say to my little boy,
"I have an @3errand@1 for you,"
He says, "@3All right!@1" then he hippety-hops
Till he hippety-hops it through.
