Answer 2

Is it this one by Elizabeth Godley..

By far the naughtiest children I know

are Jasper Geranium James and Jo.

They live in a house on the Hill of Kidd,

and what in the world do you think they did?

They asked their uncles and aunts to tea,

and shouted in loud rude voices 'We

are tired of scoldings and sendings to bed:

now the grown-ups shall be punished instead.'

They said 'Auntie Em, you didn't say thank you!'

They said 'Uncle Robert, we're going to spank you!'

They pulled the beard of Sir Henry Dorner

and put him to stand in disgrace in the corner.

They scolded Aunt B, they punished Aunt Jane;

they slapped Aunt Louisa again and again.

They said 'Naughty boy!' to their Uncle Fred,

and boxed his ears and sent him to bed.

Do you think Aunts Em and Loo and B

and Sir Henry Dorner (K.C.B.)

And the elderly uncles and kind Aunt Jane

will go to tea with the children again?
