We are Seven.
Just now I met a girl of eight, Whose family was athletic, And that wa*> how I came to hear Tins Wordsworth taJe pathetic. 'I'm living all alone," she said, Though 1 enlly we aie seven But pa and ma are on the links, And Tom's in the eleven. ''Mv sister Kate plays basket ball Hei team is always wmnei One brother's in a Henley ciew, And cannot eat our dinner. "Then, Johnny joined the tennis club, He all the time plays matches, And every day in some event He wins, or tie&, or scratches "Yes, we are leally seven, sir, But our years won't be many, I, too, will grow up strenuous. And then we won't be any."
