The Brief Song
By Mabel Jones Gabbott
What care I what my neighbors way
When I leave dishes in the sink,
Or beds unmade, to romp and play
With you? I scorn their knowing wink.
Let’s while away the whole day long:
Let’s disregard each grownup rule;
For now is such a brief, brief song –
Tomorrow you must start to school.
(1948)
