When Sarah's papa was from home a great way, / She attempted to write him a letter one day. / First ruling the paper, an excellent plan, / In all proper order Miss Sarah began. / She said she lamented sincerely to tell / That her dearest mamma had been very unwell; / That the story was long, but that when he came back, / He would hear of the shocking behaviour of Jack. / Though an error or two we by chance may detect, / It was better than treating papa with neglect; / And Sarah, when older, we know will learn better, / And write single "I" with a capital letter.
