There isn't anythin' that's worse Than for a @3boy@1 to have a nurse. For even when she helps y' play, She's alwuz gettin' in th' way; There's so few things she understands, She's just a bother on your hands. I learned this, cuz a boy I know Has one that never lets him go. First time we met, I thought that such A feller wasn't good for much. He licked me, though, an' sat on top Until his nurse she made him stop.
