A SAD TALE. Little Miss Muffett She sat on a tuffett, And sat down beside her, Which frightened Miss Muffett away. THE OLD WOMAN WHO LIVED IN A SHOE. There was an old woman who lived in a shoe; She had so many children she didn't know what to do; She gave them some broth without any bread; She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed. THE SONG OF A MAN. There was an old man, And he had a calf, And that's half; He took him out of the stall, And put him on the wall, And that's all. IF ALL THE WORLD WERE APPLE-PIE. If all the world were apple-pie, And all the sea were ink, And all the trees were bread and cheese, What should we have to drink? RIDE A COCK-HORSE. Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross A penny white loaf, a penny white cake, IS JOHN SMITH WITHIN? "Is John Smith within ?" "Ay, marry, two. Here a nail, there a nail, Tick, tack, too." A BIRD in the hand is worth two in the bush. PAT-A-CAKE. "Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man: "So I will, master, as fast as I can: "Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with T, Put in the oven for Tommy and me." LADY BIRD! LADY BIRD! Lady bird! lady bird! Fly away home; Your house is on fire, Your children will burn. THERE WERE TWO BLACK BIRDS. There were two black birds Sitting on a hill, The one was named Jack, The other named Jill. Fly away Jack! Fly away Jill! Come again Jack! Come again Jill! BUZZ, QUOTH THE BLUE FLY. Buzz, quoth the blue fly, Hum, quoth the bee; And so do we. In his ear, in his nose, He ate the dormouse ; Else it was he. DING DONG! DING DONG! Ding dong ding dong! I'll sing you a song; 'Tis about a little bird; He sat upon a tree, And he sang to me, Ding dong! ding dong! About my father's house. Ding dong! ding dong! And I know you'll love her, PUSSY CAT MEW. Pussy Cat Mew jumped over a coal, And in her best petticoat burnt a great hole. Poor Pussy's weeping, she'll have no more milk Until her best petticoat's mended with silk. THE END OF THE DAY. Good night, Wake up bright In the morning light, With all your might. |
