THE STUCK-UP BOY.
Reading edition
A ravenous boy at Manassas Once ate so much cake and molasses That he (living in clover) Grew sticky all over, So that various things, from old letters to corks, Spoons, bread-crumbs, and scissors, raised biscuits, and forks, Stuck to him like brothers, Burrs, beggars, or mothers, Until every one yelled, "He's the stuckupest boy that we ever beheld."
