Ste. Genvevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Aug. 4, 1883 A GOOD LITTLE BOY I love to go to Sunday school And put my pennies in the plate; I love to learn the Golden Rule and save the heathen from their fate; I wouldn't break the sabbath, No! For that is a w f u l w i c k- ed. Oh! I wouldn't swear. To steal a pin would be a very dreadful sin. I give my playmates tracts and tell them all about the burning hell where bad boys go who like to play u p o n the blessed Sabbath d a y I p u l l off legs and wings f r o m fl i e s; and put out our k i t t'n' e y e s, Such fun! I t made m e laugh to see it, blinded :BIBLE: crawl away from me. I :TRACT: find bird nests and smash the eggs. I break the little chicken's legs and once I put some Paris green in mamma's tea. You should have s e e n h e r f i g h t ; i t was so jol- l y t h a t I gave a lit- t l e to t h e cat. It died. S o m e t i me I mean to try to stick a pin in ba- by's eye. The d e a r b e l l s r i n g . Now I m u s t go for I am a l i tt l e lamb you know and if you're not a Christian too dear sinner let me pray for you. NOTE: If this comes thru as it was shown in the newspaper, then it'll be lucky. Never again! -- sjr
