Poems (Mansfield)/A New Hymn

by Katherine Mansfield

A NEW HYMN

Sing a song of men's pyjamas,
Half-past-six has got a pair,
And he's wearing them this evening,
And he's looking such a dear.

Sing a song of frocks with pockets
I have got one, it is so's
I can use my 'nitial hankies
Every time I blow my nose.
