The Story of Little Nick-a-Fund=

One day Mamma said “Samuel dear,
I must go out and leave you here.
But mind now, Samuel, what I say,
Don’t use customer funds while I’m away.
The great tall regulator comes
To little boys who nick client funds;
And ere they dream what he’s about,
He takes his great big baton out,
And bops and carts them off, toute suite —
This is what happens to boys who cheat.”

Mamma had scarcely turned her back,
He’s pocketed the lot: Alack! Alack!
The door flew open, in he ran,
The great, long, red-legged enforcer-man.
Oh! children, see! the bopper’s come
And caught out little Nick-a-Fund.
Snip! Snap! Snip! the scissors go;
And Samuel cries out “Oh! Oh! Oh!”
Snip! Snap! Snip! They go so fast,
Both his wrists are in cuffs so fast!

Mamma comes home: there Sam stands,
And looks quite sad, and shows his hands;
“Ah!” said Mamma, “I knew he’d come
To naughty little Nick-a-Fund.”
