A poem by Joel Chandler Harris

Oh, Lullymaloo!

________________________________________________
Title:     Oh, Lullymaloo!
Author: Joel Chandler Harris [More Titles by Harris]

I'll up and I'll grin if you tickle my chin,
And I'll sneeze if you tickle my nose;
I'll up and I'll cry if you tickle my eye--
But I'll squeal if you tickle my toes!

Oh, grin with your chinnery in,
And sneeze with your nosery oze,
And cry with your wipery eye,
But please don't tickle my toes!

I'll grin and I'll sneeze, I'll cry and I'll squeal,
And scare you with _ouches!_ and _ohs!_
You may tickle my head, you may tickle my heel,
But please don't tickle my toes!

Oh, grin with your innery chin,
And sneeze with your ozery nose,
And cry with your wipery eye,
But please don't tickle my toes!

I'll grin, _tee-hee!_ and I'll cry, _boo-hoo!_
And I'll sneeze, _icky chow! icky-chose!_
And I'll squeal just as loud, _Oh, Lullymaloo!_
Whenever you tickle my toes!


[The end]
