Classic Poem

" HAD, too! "
" Hadn't, neither! "
So contended Bess and May —
Neighbor children, who were boasting
Of their grandmammas, one day.

" Had, too! "
" Hadn't, neither! "
All the difference begun
By May's saying she'd two grandmas —
While poor Bess had only one.

" Had, too! "
" Hadn't, neither! "
Tossing curls, and kinks of friz! —
" How could you have two gran'-muvvers
When ist one is all they is? "

" Had, too! "
" Hadn't, neither! —
'Cause ef you had two , " said Bess,
" You'd displain it! " Then May an swered,
" My gran'mas wuz twins , I guess! "
