He's my baby and I prize him
I've kept him in his bed
Till he was two years grown
I've fed him on ox blood
An dry bone-meal
And now he is ready to be shown
Who am I?
From his plate up to his bu*ton
His body is pure white
And full six inches long
He stands proud with rest
Puts flags out east and west
With a crown of green herring-bone
Who am I?
I show him to neighbours
Who auction him away
But I buy him back again
I chop up his children
And feed them to my own
As he shivers out in the winter rain
Who am I?
