Rebecca

Who Slammed Doors For Fun And Perished Miserably

~

A trick that everyone abhors

In little girls is slamming doors.

A wealthy banker’s little daughter

Who lived in Palace Green, Bayswater

(By name Rebecca Offendort),

Was given to this furious sport.

~

She would deliberately go

And slam the door like billy-o!

To make her uncle Jacob start.

She was not really bad at heart,

But only rather rude and wild;

She was an aggravating child…

~

—By Hilaire Belloc
