Dolly's Wings

DOLLY'S WINGS.

Mamma Biddy, look up here,
See my dolly; ain't her dear?

Love your chickens? So does I.
Wish my dolly''d learn to fly.

Mamma Biddy, how get wings?
Buy 'em with the pedlar things?

Guess I'se got free cents and two;
Mamma Biddy, won't that do?

Use a pencil to trace the basic outline of the drawing. The chalk should t...
