Living
My Week
From Rhymes and Jingles (1875)
Living
On Monday I wash my dollies' clothes,
On Tuesday smoothly press 'em;
On Wednesday mend their little hose,
On Thursday neatly dress 'em.
On Friday I play they're taken ill,
On Saturday something or other;
But when Sunday comes, I say, "Lie still:
I'm going to church with mother."
