“Don’t spend your money, little boy;

Save for a rainy day.”

Once, when the circus was in town

I asked Bob for a quarter;

He said, “You’re so extravagant,

For shame; I think you’d oughter—

“Save all your pennies; after while

You’ll need them, silly baby;

For if you spend them all, you’ll go

Out to the poorhouse—maybe.”
