Amelia Mixed the Mustard

I love A.E. Housman's poetry. I read this poem as a child and it has stuck with me all through my life...


Amelia mixed the mustard,
She mixed it good and thick;
She put it in the custard
And made her Mother sick,
And showing satisfaction
By many a loud huzza
'Observe' said she 'the action
Of mustard on Mamma.'
