Washing Day Troubles I know a little girl who tried, To wash her dolly's clothes, one day, In Bridget's great, big tub, and cried Because mamma sent her away To find her own small dolly-tub, More fit for little girls to use. But naughty Sally shook her head And all suggestions did refuse. And when she found herself alone, She went to Bridget's tub again, But, as is sure to be the case, Her disobedience brought her pain. For, what do you think? she tumbled in, And gave herself an awful fright, And no one pitied her; in fact, They all laughed at her in her plight. |

Doll Rosy's Bath 'Tis time Doll Rosy had a bath, And she'll be good, I hope; She likes the water well enough, But she doesn't like the soap. Now soft I'll rub her with a sponge, Her eyes and nose and ears, And splash her fingers in the bowl And never mind the tears. There now—oh, my! what have I done? I've washed the skin off—see! Her pretty pink and white are gone Entirely! oh, dear me! |
The New Tea-Things Come, Dolly, come quick, For I want you to see The present mamma Has just given to me; A set of new tea-things That really hold tea. A dear little teapot To keep the tea hot, And tiny white cups With a pretty blue spot, And a glass sugar-basin. How nice, is it not? And I am to use them This same afternoon; So Dolly I'll give you Some tea very soon In a little white cup, With a saucer and spoon. |
