SOMEBODY.
S >mibody crawls into imumna’s bed Just at the break of day, Sniggles up close and whispers loud: “Somebody’s come to stay.” Somebody rushes through the house, Never once shuts a door ; Scatters her playthings all around, Over the nursery floor. Climbs on thefence, and tears her clothes— Never a bit cares she Swings on the gate and makes mud pies— Who can somebody be ? Somebody looks with roguish C3'es Up through her tangled hair, ‘‘Somebody’s mo,” she says, “but then Somebody doesn’t care.”
