A Terrible Infant

by Frederick Locker-Lampson 1821–1895

From London Lyrics (1893)

Relationships

I recollect a nurse call'd Ann,
Who carried me about the grass,
And one fine day a fine young man
Came up, and kiss'd 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.
