A Terrible Infant
Language: English
I recollect a nurse call'd Ann, Who carried me about the grass, And one fine day a fine young man Came up, and kissed the pretty lass: She did not make the least objection! Thinks I, "Aha! When I can talk, I'll tell Mamma." -- And that's my earliest recollection.
