To be gone, she said, all day,
And so I am keeping house. Oh, what fun!
I shall have no time to play,
But must work and work away,
And be busy as a mouse, till I've done.
But my mama said to me—
Now, what was it? Let me see:
“Jenny, darling, don't go out all the day;
But keep close at home till tea,
When I'll come and set you free;
