Always something wrongSoon as my back is turned. That heap o’ snowHow long’s that to stay there, I’d like to know?Here, take your milk, and there’s a bit o’ breadFor both on yer. Don’t want it? Ah, it’s bedYou’d best be off to! There, put your mug down!Now come and get into your nighty-gown.Ah, you sweet thing! Well, kiss your mother then!But you mind what I say--no more snowmenTo-morrow! (_Crosses the room_)
