Katherine Mansfield - A Few Rules for Beginners
Work rating: Medium

Babies must not eat the coal
And they must not make grimaces,
Nor in party dresses roll
And must never black their faces.

They must learn that pointing`s rude,
They must sit quite still at table,
And must always eat the food
Put before them—if they`re able.

If they fall, they must not cry,
Though it`s known how painful this is;
No—there`s always Mother by
Who will comfort them with kisses.
