Fireside, a Little Papre. By TS Eliot, aged ten.
This post was deleted for the following reason: Poster's Request -- frimble
Also, more than fifty years later Eliot wrote "A Dedication to my Wife", which is wonderful.

MOM: "What is this?"
T.S. ELIOT: "It's my first publication!"
MOM: "Doing chores is the cruellest month. Eating my vegetables is the cruellest month. Going to bed without dinner is the cruellest month. Wearing pants is the cruellest month. Ugh...why must everything with you be so difficult!?!"
T.S. ELIOT: *mumbles while writing on a notepad* "My mom is the cruellest month."
