<div class="cpoem1">
<p>Why do you love your Cousin Paull?<br/>
For his sweet face, his smile, and all<br/>
The little tricks that charm us so?<br/>
You're not quite old enough to know<br/>
How cute he is; to realize<br/>
How clever for a child his size.<br/>
I'm sure you can't appreciate<br/>
The things that make us think him great.<br/>
<br/>
And yet you love your Cousin Paull.<br/>
Is it because he's twice as small<br/>
As you, just right for you to maul?<br/>
Because he won't fight back, or bawl?<br/>
Because when he is pushed he'll fall?<br/>
And, where most kids would howl and squall,<br/>
He takes it, nor puts in a call<br/>
For mother? Am I warm at all?<br/>
Is this why you love Cousin Paull?<br/></p>
