This week's poem is taken from Ringgold Wilmer "Ring" Lardner's <b>Bib Ballads</b> book of poetry about his child. In his Forward he says<br /><br /><i>Dear Parents:—Don't imagine, please,<br />It's in a boastful spirit<br />I fashion verses such as these;...<br />...But babes are babes, and mine, no doubt,<br />Is very much like others. </i>
