Poor Little Toddlekins

by Mary Mapes Dodge 1831–1905

From Rhymes and Jingles (1875)

Living

Poor little Toddlekins,
All full o' sketer-bites--
Bodder him awful,
Baby can't sleep o' nights.
Buzzing all over him,
Singing and tickling,
In and out, round about,
Nipping and prickling.
Poor little Toddlekins,
All full o' sketer-bites--
Bodder him awful,
Can't even sleep o' nights!
