MAMMA'S BOY.
Reading edition
"Baby, climbing on my knee, Come and talk a while to me. We have trotted up and down. Playing horse, all over town. Whose sweet darling are you, dear? Whisper close to mamma's ear: Tell me quickly, for you can." "I'm mamma's boy, but papa's man!" "Why, you've many miles to go Ere you'll be a man, you know. You are mamma's own delight; You are mamma's diamond bright; Rose and lily, pearl and star, Love and dove,—all these you are." "No!" the little tongue began: "I'm mamma's boy, but papa's man!"
George Cooper.
