Well, Mr Godfrey, please pause to reflect that such verses were not generally considered to be "nauseous doggerel" in their day; in fact they chimed in quite well with the standard of children's verses of the time, and were, in fact, popular. It's a shame that he cannot try to judge such things by the standards of children's rhymes of 1874, rather than those of much more sophisticated adults of today. A mild comment trying to put the matter into some historical/social context, whilst relating your own personal distaste would acceptable.
