James Whitcomb Riley - The StepmotherJames Whitcomb Riley - The Stepmother
Work rating: Low


First she come to our house,     Tommy run and hid;   And Emily and Bob and me     We cried jus` like we did   When Mother died,--and we all said   `At we all wisht `at we was dead!   And Nurse she couldn`t stop us,     And Pa he tried and tried,--   We sobbed and shook and wouldn`t look,     But only cried and cried;   And nen someone--we couldn`t jus`   Tell who--was cryin` same as us!   Our Stepmother! Yes, it was her,     Her arms around us all--   `Cause Tom slid down the bannister     And peeked in from the hall.--   And we all love her, too, because   She`s purt nigh good as Mother was!
