Tony started bright and early, clearing up his room, / Soon he found he had to stop and make a little broom;
So then he went into the yard to get a little stick, / But the garden needed weeding, so he set about it, quick!
Then he found his wagon he intended to repair, / So he went into the cellar for the hammer that was there;
He'd just begun to build a box, when it was time for dinner; / And that's why Tony's father called his son a "_good beginner_. "
