GROWN-UP TALK, by KATHERINE MANSFIELD Poet's Biography First Line: Half-past-six and I were talking Last Line: "when the saucepan isn't clean." Alternate Author Name(s): Murry, John Middleton, Mrs.; Beauchamp, Kathleen | |||
Half-Past-Six and I were talking In a very grown-up way; We had got so tired with running That we did not want to play. "How do babies come, I wonder," He said, looking at the sky, "Does God mix the things together An' just make it-like a pie?" I was really not quite certain, But it sounded very nice; It was all that we could think of, Besides a book said "sugar and spice." Half-Past-Six said -- He's so clever -- Cleverer than me, I mean... "I suppose God makes the black ones When the saucepan isn't clean." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VILLA PAULINE by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE OPAL DREAM CAVE by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE SECRET by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE EARTH-CHILD IN THE GRASS by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SONG OF THE LITTLE WHITE GIRL by KATHERINE MANSFIELD OPPOSITES by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SONG OF KAREN, THE DANCING CHILD by KATHERINE MANSFIELD FAIRY TALE by KATHERINE MANSFIELD |
