Grown folks are queer, it seems to

They almost make me vexed;
They think I ought to be one day
What I can't'be the next.
One day my sister Kate and I

Beside a little muddy pool,

I didn't ,think but threw a stone
And spattered Kate's new frock,
She jumped and home she crying
To tell about the shock.

To play that shabby trick.
And Aunt Maud pitied "Poor deal

At finding I'm big one day
And very small the next.
