| You
saucy X! You love to vex Your next-door neighour Y: And just because no flower is yours, You tease him on the sly. Straight, yellow, tall, - of Nettles all, The handsomest is his; He thinks no ill, and wonders still What all your mischief is. You have a care! Bad imp, beware His upraised hand and arm: Though stingless, he comes leaping - see! - To save his flower from harm. |
