'Susannah and Mary Jane'A
-
TWO little Darlings aloneA
Clinging hand in handB
Two little Girls come outC
To see the wonderful landB
Here round the flaring stallsD
They stand wide eyed in the throngE
While the great the eloquent HucksterF
Perorates loud and longE
They watch those thrice blessed mortalsG
The dirty guzzling BoysH
Who partake of dates periwinklesH
Ices and other joysH
And their little mouths go wide openA
At some of the brilliant sightsH
That little Darlings may see in the roadI
Of Edgware on Saturday nightsH
The eldest's name is SusannahA
She was four years old last MayJ
And Mary Jane the youngestK
Is just three years old to dayJ
And I know all about their cat andL
Their father and mother tooM
And 'Pigshead ' their only brotherF
Who got his head jammed in the flueM
And they know several particularsH
Of a similar sort of meN
For we went up and down togetherF
For over an hour we threeN
And Susannah walked beside meN
As became the wiser and olderF
Fast to one finger but Mary JaneA
Sat solemnly up on my shoulderF
And we bought some sweets and a monkeyN
That climbed up a stick 'quite nice '-
And then last we adjourned for refreshmentsH
And the ladies had each an iceH
And Susannah's ice was a pink oneA
And she sucked it up so quickO
But Mary Jane silently profferedP
Her ice to me for a lickO
And then we went home to MotherF
And we found her upon the floorQ
And Father was trying to balanceH
His shoulders against the doorQ
And Susannah said 'O' and 'Please sirF
We'll go in ourselves sir ' AndL
We kissed one another and partedR
And they stole in hand in handB
And its O for my two little DarlingsH
I never shall see againA
Though I stand for the whole night watchingS
And crying here in the rainA
