To Georgetta
Georgie Baby little dear
My youthful playmate ever near
Tho thou so very big has grown
Still I call thee my very own
Work and labor is thy second name 
It and skill has brot thee fame
And when we see thy bounteous table spread
And leave it feeling so well fed
We exclaim she is a good cook
'Tis a gift and not learned from a book
But sometimes our dear discouraged grows
And she is sure that no one ever knows
Half how deep the sorrow goes
Then with an out burst of tears
Poor baby cries despite her years
But when good humor comes again
My nose she pulls my cheek she bites
'Tiny and J.P. goes off in heights
In whatever mood she may be
Be it sorrow pain or glee
To us she makes it known with force
Somethings must go right at first trial
Or else for all she cares they may be slung a mile
Then we four come forth to aid.
