[THE LITTLE GIRL FROM TOWN]
Us children liked her, though she was so queer,
When she came out to Pleasantville, last year;
She “mustn’t walk upon the grass,” she said:
We asked her why?—and she just shook her head!
Oh, yes, us children liked the little kid,
Although she didn’t know one thing we did,
And said the oddest things you ever heard;
She saw a goose, and asked, “What kind o’ bird?“
Us children liked the little kid, oh, yes!
