LULLABY, by CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSONPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: Speak roughly to your little boy Last Line: The pepper when he pleases! Alternate Author Name(s): Carroll, Lewis Subject(s): Children; Langford, G. W.; Childhood
Speak roughly to your little boy, And beat him when he sneezes; He only does it to annoy, Because he knows it teases.
I speak severely to my boy, I beat him when he sneezes; For he can thoroughly enjoy The pepper when he pleases!
