Inconsiderate Hannah

By Harry Graham

NAUGHTY little Hannah said

She could make her grandma whistle,

So, that night, inside her bed

Placed some nettles and a thistle.

Though dear grandma quite infirm is,

Heartless Hannah watched her settle,

With her poor old epidermis

Resting up against a nettle.

Suddenly she reached the thistle!

My! you should have heard her whistle!

A successful plan was Hannah's,

But I cannot praise her manners.
