TO A FIRST TIME MOTHER

RELAX, MY DEAR, YOUR LITTLE ELF

IS JUST AN AMATEUR HIMSELF

SO IF YOUR HANDS, SO NEWLY FILLED

WITH TASKS, SEEM SOMEWHAT LESS THAN SKILLED.
RELAX, I SAY, THIS LITTLE PINKLING

DOESN’T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST INKLING

THAT YOU ARE NEW TO BABY LORE —

HE NEVER HAD A MOM BEFORE

— 108 —
