LITTLE VERSES FOR VERY LITTLE PEOPLE.
Pussy-cat Mew jumped over a coal, And in her best netticoat burnt a great hole. Poor Pussy’s weeping, she’ll have no more milk, Until her best petticoat’s mended with silk! A nick and a nock, A h.en and a cock, And a penny for my master. A? I was going to sell my eggs. I met a man with crooked legs; Crooked legs and turned-up toes, I tripped up his heels, and he fell on his nose. ' • Lavender blue and Rosemary green, When I am king you shall be queen: Call up my maids at four o’clock, Some to the wheel and some to the rock, Some to make hay and some to shear corn, And you and I will keep ourselves warm.
