Miss Mischievous

 Miss Don't-do-this and Don't-do-that
 Has such a sunny smile
You cannot help but chuckle at
 Her cuteness and her guile.

Her locks are silken floss of gold,
 Her eyes are pansy blue:
Maybe of years to eighty old
 The best is two.


Miss Don't-do-this and Don't-do-that
 To roguishness is fain;
To guard that laughter-loving brat
 Is quite a strain;
But when she tires of prank and play
 And says good-night,
I'm longing for another day
 Of child delight.


Miss Don't-do-this and Don't-do-that
 Will grow up soon.

I hope she'll never throw her hat
 Athwart the moon.

Yet I'll be sorrowful indeed,
 Remembering a day
Before she learned to humbly heed
 The word OBEY.
