Grandpa Feeds Baby
Translated by Isaac Taylor Headland (1900) · From Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes (1900)
Relationships
Grandpa holds the baby,
He's sitting on his knee
Eating mutton dumplings
With vinegar and tea.
Then grandpa says to baby,
"When you have had enough,
You'll be a saucy baby
And treat your grandpa rough."
