 Charlie Christman and the Neanderthal Man of pleasing jjcrsonality

Miss Percy 



The gentle Lady Percy 



(Who doesn't hail from Quercy) 



We think it is a mercy 



Hasn't worked herself to death.

Of dainty heels that patter 



And we wonder what's the matter

"Weeping over their wasted years? 



"I must hurry them on to their great careers.

Who luistles out each day for eats 

 Some hungry mouths to filliam 

 With bread and butter, milk and cheese? 

 Who is it but our William? 



He carries water in a pail, 



Like Jack and also Jilliam, 



And mops the floor and shines the bras 



And makes things neat, does William.
