<h2> HIS NEW BROTHER </h2>
<p>
Say, I've got a little brother,<br/>
Never teased to have him, nuther,<br/>
But he's here;<br/>
They just went ahead and bought him,<br/>
And, last week the doctor brought him,<br/>
Wa'n't that queer?<br/>
<br/>
When I heard the news from Molly,<br/>
Why, I thought at first 't was jolly,<br/>
'Cause, you see,<br/>
I s'posed I could go and get him<br/>
And then Mama, course, would let him<br/>
Play with me.<br/>
<br/>
But when I had once looked at him,<br/>
"Why!" I says, "My sakes, is <i>that</i> him?<br/>
Just that mite!"<br/>
They said, "Yes," and, "Ain't he cunnin'?"<br/>
And I thought they must be funnin',—<br/>
He's a <i>sight!</i><br/></p>
