One Proud Little Girl.

I am pwoud,

pwoud to be bold:

I don't want to be good

or do wha' I'm told.

I don't re'spec' me elderers

or anyone who's tall,

who think they can boss me

jus'  'cause I'm small.

I like lots 'o mischief,

lots 'o noisy fun,

laughin' and shoutin'

and stickin' ou' me tongue.

I don't 'wash me handies'.

I pulls the arms off dolls.

I like to curse and swear

and me favori' word is: 'Balls!'

I hate all goody-goodies

and all yer talk of luv,

of angels and saints

and the big beardy up above.

I migh' look innocen'

and me no more than six,

but I am, in me heart,

a migh'y hanarkissed.
