The Best Thing For a Little Boy
Why insensibly annoy
The three-year-old boy
With tales about Ancient Troy
That does gaiety destroy,
When you can his vivacity buoy
With some blue-eyed toy
Or a much sweetened soy
That heightens a child’s joy;
Or before him act a decoy
Or some crazy song employ
About a girl unprofitably coy
The Pure Gold, a sweetened soy
Tales about Troy, The Alloy.
