Poem by Frederick Locker-Lampson

A Terrible Infant

I RECOLLECT a nurse call'd Ann
   Who carried me about the grass,
And one fine day a fine young man
   Came up and kiss'd the pretty lass.
She did not make the least objection!
   Thinks I, "Aha!
   When I can talk I'll tell Mamma" --
And that's my earliest recollection.

1. My Firstborn
2. The Old Clerk
3. My Life Is A—
4. The Pilgrims of Pall Mall
5. St George’s, Hanover Square
