009 Aunt Mabel
Another Little Willie...
Believeing children must be seen not heard
Aunt Mabel bought a foreign bird,
Two labradors and a dozen cats.
But now she regrets not having brats.
They squabble, catawaul and fight.
They eat everything edible left in sight.
Such a shame she forgot just one small rule:
She could have sent such kids to school.
