Five Little Toes In The Morning

by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

This little toe is hungry-
This little toe is too,
This toe lies abed like a sleepy head,
And this toe cries "Boo-hoo."
This toe big and tall is the smartest of all
For he pops into stocking and shoe.

    The Common Lot
    by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
    It is a common fate-a woman's lot- To waste on one the riches of her soul, Who takes the wealth she gives him, but cannot Repay the interest, and much less the whole.
