A Terrible Infant


“A Terrible Infant”

I recollect a nurse called 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.

— Frederick Locker-Lampson

Charming, huh?
