Ma put my Penny-Dog / Safe on the shelf, / An' left no one home but him, / Me an' myself; / So I clumbed a big chair / I pushed to the wall- / But the Toy Penny-Dog / Ain't there at all! / I went back to Dolly- / An' _she_ 'uz gone too, / An' little Switch 'uz layin' there; - / An' Ma says "_Boo! _"- / An' there she wuz a-peepin' / Through the front-room door: / An' I ain't goin' to be a bad / Little girl no more!
