C J Dennis - The Modern Cherub
Work rating: Low

"Give me a dad who knows his place
   And never gives me cheek,
And a mother mild who treats her child
   In a docile way, and meek.
Give me a house where a little lad
   Is recognised as head,
And home-life`s not too beastly bad,"
   The little darling said.


"Give me the right to rule to roost
   And I`ll stay in at night,
And seldom go to the picture show
   Or patronise the fight.
But I`ll treat complaints with a lordly sniff
   If they humbly mention bed.
Precocious parents bore me stiff,"
   The sweet young cherub said.
