There was a little girl

There are many poems that we come across but some don’t leave us untouched. There was a little girl is one of them. Read through the poem and you will agree with me that it is not difficult to find one such girl around us.

This poem is succinct by its words but comprehensible, self-explanatory and satisfactory by its meaning.



There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


All I can say is that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote a short worthwhile poem.
