Written for a child (possibly one of her young sons) ‘tricky’ is a mother’s desire for her son’s well-being and good behaviour
I’ll tell you of a friend of mine
He’s got a little house
He does a lot of work for me
He’s smaller than a mouse.
I wonder if you’ll have a guess
at who this friend might be?
He’s not a boy or girl I know
but he’s a part of me!
