THE BAKER’S BOY

The baker’s boy delivers loavesAll up and down our street.His car is white, his clothes are white,White to his very feet.I wonder if he stays that way. I don’t see how he does all day.I’d like to watch him going homeWhen all the loaves are out.His clothes must look quite different then,At least I have no doubt.
