Donald old Hackett old ROSENTHAL son, my old fellow Made mellow and third, By those Charlie, the CHARLES, Who are boys and not girls, And those Jimmy, the JAMES. Those two others, your brothers Either with family names, The now ancient, all told More than three years old - Now, young Donald, to Jim And to Charlie, you add you a him, ROBERT, your father, and further, That industrious Elizabeth Mother, and manager, boss, On whom there groweth no moss, Nor, Don, on that paragon parent Of whom there not many aren't Like him. Mr. DONALD, in fact, Grow up quick, catch the act, It's a big bang, this gang, And you'll like being along - So - my cheers, for your tries, And this first burst of applause. | |
