Isidor

By Florence Ripley Mastin


From “School Room Sketches” THE CORNER where he sat
Was gnomed with naughtiness!
His nickname was “The Sprat,”
His size was even less.

Poor wide-eared little lad,	5
So dirty and so bad,
Just once I found your heart
And there were aches in there;
Yet still you play your part,
Elfish and debonair.	10
