PREPETUAL MOTION, by JOHN J. EBERHARDT

First Line: When my little girl with cheeks aglow
Last Line: Till he hippety-hops it through.
Subject(s): Children; Childhood
When my little girl with cheeks aglow
Comes romping home from town,
She hippety-hoppeties up the hill
And she hippety-hoppeties down;
And when I say to my little boy,
"I have an errand for you,"
He says, "All right!" then he hippety-hops
Till he hippety-hops it through.
