<h3><br/><SPAN name="HIS_MEMORY" id="HIS_MEMORY"></SPAN>HIS MEMORY</h3>
<div class="cpoem1">
<p><br/>
Besides my little son's imagination,<br/>
Another thing he has appeals to me<br/>
And agitates my envious admiration—<br/>
It's his accommodating memory.<br/>
<br/>
An instant after some unlucky stumble<br/>
Has floored him and induced a howl of pain,<br/>
He's clean forgotten all about his tumble<br/>
And violently sets out to romp again.<br/>
<br/>
But if, when I leave home, I say that maybe<br/>
I'll get him something nice while I'm away,<br/>
It's very safe to bet that Mr. Baby<br/>
Will not forget, though I be gone all day.<br/>
<br/>
Ah, would I might lose sight of things unpleasant:<br/>
The bills I owe; the work I haven't done.<br/>
And only think of future joys and present,<br/>
Like the approaching payday, and my son.<br/></p>
