Thoughtless Aunt Katy runs into the hall,To speak to a friend who has come for a call,And baby is left for a moment alone,With pen, ink, and paper… … Naughty Aunt Katy comes back in a fright,And laughs when she sees him in such a sad plight,While mamma rushes in, with a horror-struck face,To see the black imp in her white babys place.
