One day Mamma said “Samuel dear, <br>
{{Little Nick-A-Fund}}
I must go out and leave you here. <br>
But mind now, Samuel, what I say, <br>
Don’t use customer funds while I’m away. <br>
The great tall regulator comes <br>
To little boys who nick client funds; <br>
And ere they dream what he’s about, <br>
He takes his great big baton out,<br>
And bops  and carts them off, ''toute suite'' —  <br>
This is what happens to boys who cheat.”<br>
<br>
 
Mamma had scarcely turned her back, <br>
He’s pocketed the lot: Alack! Alack! <br>
The door flew open, in he ran, <br>
The great, long, red-legged enforcer-man. <br>
Oh! children, see! the bopper’s come <br>
And caught out little Nick-a-Fund. <br>
Snip! Snap! Snip! the scissors go; <br>
And Samuel cries out “Oh! Oh! Oh!” <br>
Snip! Snap! Snip! They go so fast, <br>
Both his wrists are in cuffs so fast! <br>
 
Mamma comes home: there Sam stands, <br>
And looks quite sad, and shows his hands; <br>
“Ah!” said Mamma, “I knew he’d come <br>
To naughty little Nick-a-Fund.” <br>
