Miss Peach has such a
lovely face
I think it would be
out of place
to tell you that,
tho' never tart,
she has a very
stony heart;
Poor Miss Pear has a
swollen cheek;
She's had it, too,
for nearly a week;
If you ask me now
how can that be -
I'll tell you why:
She fell out of a tree!

I can tell, from reading enough pages, that Warren has already been born. Since he's a young child, I wouldn't be surprised if Mary tried writing little stories to read to her son. It's almost like something out of a children's book, and it reminds me of some of the books I had read to me when I was young.—#rgerzevske
