    “I am a little codjer my age is scarcely ten”

    I am a little codjer my age is scarcely ten
    I keep a pipe and Tobacco box and smoke like all the men.
    They are always a dodjing and a plodjing after me.
    They broke my pipe and Tobacco box and would not let me be.
    One day I got the creeping stool.
    I crept up to the hob.
    I found a rusty dudeen and I stuck it in my gob.
    My Granny broke the belly band all with the second twist.
    I cried out mile murder.
    I have the dudeen in my fist.
