Dossies [eoven

You must sit till half-past four,
But not a minute more,

For that’s when dogs and children
have their tea—
There'll be half a bun for you,

. And some milk and water too,

And two buns and jam and real milk for me.

You don’t like sitting so ?

But it must be done, you know:

I hate my lessons just as much as you—
But you'll get no milk or bun
Till the lessons are all done—

And sitting still’s the lesson you must do.

Sit steady as a rock,

And never mind the clock,

That naughty clock is very, very wrong—
I’ve a comfortable chair,

So I really do not care

If you find your lesson very much too long.
