Deportmental ditties : and other verses . y,Who is wonderfully witty—His accomplishments and parlour tricks are numerous:He can sing, and play the fiddle,Solve acrostics, ash a riddle, 15 Deportmental Ditties And do other things, if possible, more humorousHas been brutally ejected From Societys dominions,Just because he is suspectedOf polygamous opinions ! Be considerate of others, Of your sisters and your brothers;Do not balance loaded sponges on the door for them. With your playmates never grapple To secure the largest apple:If you get it, always treasure up the core for them. Keep your hands a trifle cleaner,And your finger-nails unbitten, And affect the meek demeanourOf an unassuming kitten. Never enter without knocking,Never wear a drooping stocking,Never greet your parents counsel with hilarity;Never mingle cake and butter,Never dabble in the gutter,Nor do anything that savours of vulgarity.(Tis unseemly for a bantling To make tactless observations,Which may send the blushes mantlingOer the cheeks of his relations.)16. 17 B Deportmental Ditties
