English poem
The Superior Boys
by Mrs. Turner (1775–1846)
Tom and Charles once took a walk, To see a pretty lamb; And, as they went, began to talk Of little naughty Sam;
Who beat his younger brother, Bill, And threw him in the dirt; And when his poor mamma was ill, He teased her for a squirt.
"And I," said Tom, "won't play with Sam, Although he has a top": But here the pretty little lamb To talking put a stop.
