His Lady Friend by Ring Lardner (1885 - 1933)

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