I'm twins, I guess, 'cause my Ma say <br />I'm two little girls. An' one o' me <br />Is _Good_ little girl; an' th'other 'n' she <br />Is _Bad little girl as she can be!_ <br />An' Ma say so, 'most ever' day. <br /> <br />An' she's the _funniest_ Ma! 'Cause when <br />My Doll won't mind, an' I ist cry, <br />W'y, nen my Ma she sob an' sigh, <br />An' say, 'Dear _Good_ little girl, good-bye!-- <br />_Bad_ little girl's comed here again!' <br /> <br />Last time 'at Ma act' thataway, <br />I cried all to myse'f awhile <br />Out on the steps, an' nen I smile, <br />An' git my Doll all fix' in style, <br />An' go in where Ma's at, an' say: <br />_'Morning to you, Mommy dear_! <br />_Where's that Bad little girl wuz here_? <br />_Bad little girl's goned clean away_, <br />_An' Good little girl's comed back to stay.'_<br /><br />James Whitcomb Riley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/little-girl-two-little-girls/
