WHAT MAKES GRANDMA CROSS
My mamma's gone away to-day, And grandma's cross; My mamma told" me to be good, I've tried to help just all" I could, And haven't done a thing that should Make grandma cross. I cleared away the "breakfast things Quick as a fly; The gravy. spilled -a little mite, Although I hugged the platter tight. But, if I was an ' awful sight,' I didn't cry. I went upstairs to make the beds And dust around; I filled the bathtub to the brim, So Jack Tar could learn to swim — And then I jumped in after him Before he drowned. I really thought the parlor should Be dusted, too ; An angel fell down on his face And hit a Royal Worcester vase — I put the pieces back in place With Stickum's glue. I've been as good as good can be — But grandma's cross; I've swept, I've ironed all my clothes, I've washed the windows with the hose, "What in the world do you suppose Makes grandma cross?
