what kind of poem is Granny's tree climbing ?
Answers
Answer:
One ugly trick has often spoiled
The sweetest and the nest;
Matilda, though a pleasant child,
One ugly trick possessed.
Which, like a cloud before the skies,
Hid all her better qualities.
Sometimes she’d lift the teapot lid,
To peep at what was in it;
Or tilt the kettle, if you did
But turn your back a minute.
In vain you told her not to touch,
Her trick of meddling grew so much.
Her grandmamma went out one day,
And by mistake she laid
Her spectacles and snuffbox gay
Too near the little maid;
‘Ah well,’ thought she, ‘I’ll try them on,
As soon as grandmamma is gone.’
Forthwith she placed upon her nose
The glasses large and wide,
And looking around, as I suppose,
The snuffbox too she spied:
‘Oh, what a pretty box is this,
I’ll open it,’ said little Miss.
‘I know that grandmamma would say,
“Don’t meddle with it, dear.”
But then she’s far enough away,
And no one else is near;
Besides, what can there be amiss
In opening such a box as this?’
So thumb and finger went to work
