Here's Alison: A Bright Yellow Sticker

Alison Ross's daughter and her husband ran a book business from their home. A yellow sticker was attached to each book, announcing it's price. And those darned stickers sometimes ended up where they shouldn't be!

After feeding the baby
And changing his naps
‘twould be hard
To feel any sicker
For there ‘neath the nap,
On that little chap,
I found …
A bright yellow sticker!
It was hard to believe,
And I know you will grieve,
That our lass could be
So darn naughty,
And why I’m feeling so bad,
Is she’s selling the lad,
For a miserable,
Two dollars –forty!
