"BABY BUNG."

Nurse Ritchie. "THERE YOU ARE, MY LITTLE DEAR,—THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU!"

"BABY BUNG."

Nurse R-tch-e loquitur:—

Which no doubt at the best it's a bothersome babe; though my bounden duty it were to make much of it;

I'm free to say, if I had my way, it's the dickens a bit I should come within touch of it.

'Tis a greedy child, and a noisy too, of a colicky turn, and pertikler windy;

And, wherever the blessed infant's found, you may bet your boots there'll be stir and shindy.

The family is a rucktious one from their cradles up, and the plague of nusses.

You may cosset and cordial 'em up as you will; though you calls 'em "blessings," you finds 'em cusses.
