Analysis of Terrible Infant, A
Frederick Locker-Lampson 1821 – 1895
I recollect a nurse call'd Ann,
Who carried me about the grass,
And one fine day a fine young man
Came up, and kiss'd the pretty lass.
She did not make the least objection!
Thinks I, "Aha!
When I can talk I'll tell Mamma"
And that's my earliest recollection.
