System

by Robert Louis Stevenson

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/robert-louis-stevenson_poetry

Every night my prayers I say, And get my dinner every day; And every day that I’ve been good, I get an orange after food.
The child that is not clean and neat, With lots of toys and things to eat, He is a naughty child, I’m sure⁠— Or else his dear papa is poor.
