THAT’S EABV.
O NE little row of ten little toes,
To go along with a brand-new nose,
Eight new fingers and two new thumbs
That are just as good as sugar plums—
That’s baby.
One little pair of round new eyes.
Like a little owl's, so big and wise,
One little plate they call a moutli,
Without one tooth, from North to South—
That's baby.
Two little checks to kiss all day,
Two little hands so in his way,
A brand-new head, not very big,
That seems to need a brand-new wig— -
That's baby.
Dear little row of ten little toes !
How much we love them nobody knows ;
Ten little kisses on mouth and chin,
What a shame he wasn’t a twin— -
That’s baby.
