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.
