Ten Kinds

By Mary Mapes Dodge

Winnie Whiney all things grieve her.

Fannie Fibber who'd believe her? 

Lotty Loozem late to school sir;

Albert Allplay quite a fool sir.

Kitty Kissem loved  by many.

George Grump not loved by any;

Ralph Rufi beware his fist sir.

Tillie Tattle like a blister

Gus Goodaction bright and cheery. 

Sammy Selfish sour and dreary.

Do you know them as I've sung them.

Easy tis to choose among them.
