Every night my prayers I say,
And get my dinner every day;
And every day that I’ve been good,
I get an orange after food.
The child that is not clean and neat,
With lots of toys and things to eat,
He is a naughty child, I’m sure—
Or else his dear papa is poor.
A classic children’s poem from Robert Louis Stevenson’s A Child’s Garden of Verses, reflecting childhood imagination, play, nature, and family life.
