AS HIS MOTHER USED TO DO. He criticised her puddings, and He didn’t like her cakes; He wished she’d make; the biscuit That his mother used to make. She didn’t wash the dishes, and She didn’t make a stew, And she didn’t mend his stockings—- ' As his mother used to do. Ah. well, she wasn’t perfect. Though she tried to do her best, Until at length she thought her Time had come to have a rest; So, when one day he went the Same old rigmarole all through She turned, and boxed his ears, Just as his mother used to do.
