RICHES
My mother is a queen, and my father And I have * many toys with pretty bells that ring, And a garden where marigolds and holly-hocks grow. And six littte apple trees planted in a row. My father is a king and my mother is a queen, While I have a little page dressed all in green. A dear little sister, with eyes as blue as skies, And a big brown monkey that won a first prize. My mother is a queen and my father is a king, And I have lots of birds who always love to sing, A gold mine in England, an orange grove in Spain, A little wooden motor-car and a great big train. —Fanny Birch (aged 14). Ponsonby.
