344 JOHNNY S OPINION OF GRANDMOTHERS.
Then, failing to conquer,
With passionate cry He quivers his lips,
Keeps a tear in his eye, And so wins in the battle,
This wise little thing ; He knows the world over
That Baby is king.
��JOHNNY S OPINION OF GRANDMOTHERS.
��are very nice folks; \JT They beat all the aunts in creation ; They let a chap do as he likes, And don t worry about education.
I m sure I can t see it at all,
What a poor feller ever could do
For apples and pennies and cakes Without a grandmother or two.
Grandmothers speak softly to "ma s" To let a boy have a good time ;
Sometimes they will whisper, tis true, T other way when a boy wants to climb.
Grandmothers have muffins for tea, And pies, a whole row, in the cellar,
And they re apt (if they know it in time) To make chicken-pies for a feller.
