THE CRUEL BOY Jack Parker was a cruel boy,For mischief was his sole employ ;And much it grievd his friends to find,His thoughts so wickedly inclind. He thought it clever to deceive,And often ramble without leave ;And every animal he met,He dearly lovd to plague and fret. But all such boys unless… … THE GOOD GIRL Miss Lydia Banks, though very youngWill never do whats rude or wrong ;When spoken to, she always triesTo give the most polite replies. Observing what at school shes taught,She turns her toes as children ought ;And when she has come back from school,She never lolls on chair or stool. 12
