TO GIRLS.
Don’t think this work’s for boys alone,
For that’s not really true;
It surely is as girlish fun
As anything you do.
Of course, when boys have made the toys,
They’ll give them right away;
But girls, when they have finished theirs,
Will sit right down and play.
You also may designers be,
Makers and painters as well,
And in your dainty workmanship
May even the boys excel.
But there’s one thing that girls can do,
Which boys won’t undertake,
That is, the attractive little things
With needle and thread to make.
So get your boxes and fasteners strong,
And sewing materials you’ll need,
And then your playhouse, when ’tis done,
Will be unique indeed.
