Willie, with the garden shears
Willie, with the garden shears
Cut off both the baby’s ears.
At the baby, so unslightly,
Mother raised her eyebrows slightly.
And here’s an earlier version:
Bobby with the nursery shears
Cut off both the baby’s ears;
At the baby, so unsightly,
Mamma raised her eyebrows slightly.
