A Hollywood Child Star's Garden of Verses. Iv: (Apologies to Robert Louis Stevenson)

A BIRDIE with a yellow bill
Hopped upon the window sill.
‟You’ll be late for work,” he said.
So I answered: “Aw, drop dead.”

So I answered: “Aw, drop dead.”
WHEN I was down beside the sea,
A wooden spade they gave to me
To dig the sandy shore;
With cameras grinding, I would stoop,
That messy sand to scoop and scoop —
Oh, brother, what a bore!
