Mother's Way
: RHYMES CONCERNING "MOTHER": Boys And Girls Bookshelf
BY CARRIE WILLIAMS
Nowadays girls go to cooking-school
And learn to cook just so by rule;
But all I know, I'm glad to say,
My mother taught me day by day.
She did not need a great cook-book;
She knew how much and what it took
To make things good and sweet and light.
What Mother does is always right.
