ORDER

Gelett Burgess

Make your soldiers march away, When you're finished with your play. Lead them to the barrack-box, Make them carry all your blocks.

Teach your doll to go to bed, Not to lie about instead; Tell her she must clear away Everything she's used to-day.

All your playthings and your toys Must be trained like girls and boys!
