IN THE STUDY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Nicest place in all the house
Last Line: Just as wise and big as he.
Subject(s): Children; Fathers; Rooms; Childhood


Nicest place in all the house
Is my daddy's study chair;
Just as quiet as a mouse
I go creeping there,
An' he gives a little smile,
Writing, writing, all the while.

There's at least a million books
Up and down and round the wall.
I guess, from the way it looks,
I can't read them all!
If I did I'm sure I'd be
Just as wise and big as he.
