The Knickerbocker Boy.

By Caroline S. King.

I.
I ’m a knickerbocker boy! See my coat and breeches!Cuffs and collar, pocket too— Made with many stitches!I must have a watch and chain,A silk umbrella and a cane.—No more kilts and skirts for me!I ’m a big boy—don’t you see?
II.
Knickerbockers! Knickerbockers! Give away my other clothes!Give away my horse with rockers; I want one that really goes.Two brisk, prancing goats will do;But I ’d like a wagon too.No more chairs hitched up for meI ’m a big boy—don’t you see?
