LITTLE Miss Laugh-a-Lot, <br />Saucy the way you've got, <br />Dancing with glee are the bright eyes of you; <br />Lips like the red, red rose, <br />Cunning, your little nose, <br />Cheeks like the summer peach sparkling with dew; <br />Mischievous romping tot, <br />Little Miss Laugh-a-Lot, <br />Over this heart of mine you've worked a spell, <br />You've got me, heart and soul, <br />Under your sly control, <br />In that glad smile of yours all my joys dwell. <br /> <br />Little Miss Laugh-a-Lot, <br />Merry the way you've got, <br />What you say goes with your battered old dad. <br />Kings, in their pompous way, <br />Hold no such magic sway <br />Over their subjects, as you've always had; <br />Your word is law with me, <br />Your throne, you've made my knee, <br />Empress, you rule me by night and by day. <br />By you I'm always swayed, <br />Your commands I've obeyed, <br />Always I'm ready when you bid me play. <br /> <br />Little Miss Laugh-a-Lot, <br />Roguish the ways you've got, <br />Sly are the tricks that you play on your dad, <br />Wheedling and coaxing him, <br />Fooling and hoaxing him, <br />Forcing this grizzly old bear to be glad. <br />Life holds no sweeter bliss <br />Than your caress and kiss, <br />Earth has no beauty so rare as your smile, <br />While I have you to love, <br />You to be servant of, <br />Nothing else matters, this world is worth while.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/little-miss-laugh-a-lot/
