There Was a Naughty Girl
There was a naughty girl
And a naughty girl was she,
For nothing would she do
But hang baubles on her tree.
She bought
apples and pears
Goldilocks and the bears,
camels and
angels,
bows, bells
and bangles,
and then
another
to add to the other.
She collected
with fervor,
her only
endeavor
to adorn
her tree
to the
ninth degree,
not knowing
too many
were worse than
not any.
So she gazed at her tree
and she pondered.
She pondered.
She gazed at her tree
and she pondered.
