See Slovenly Peter! Here he stands,
With his dirty hair and hands.
See! his nails are never cut;
They are grim’d as black as soot;
No water for many weeks,
Has been near his cheeks;
And the sloven, I declare,
Not once this year has combed his hair!
Anything to me is sweeter
Than to see shock-headed Peter.
Hoffman children’s stories are upsurd!
tedr-if you read this there is one called The Dreadful Story of Harriet and the Matches.
also: the blog i reblogged is my tumblr for my independent studies at nyu. i woundn’t suggest following it as it is quite boring.
