See, see! What shall I see?  
A horse's head where his tail should be.

## A Well

As round as an apple, as deep as a cup,  
And all the king's horses can't fill it up.

## Coffee And Tea

Molly, my sister and I fell out,  
And what do you think it was all about?  
She loved coffee and I loved tea,  
And that was the reason we couldn't agree.

## 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.

## Dapple-Gray

I had a little pony,  
His name was Dapple-Gray,  
I lent him to a lady,  
To ride a mile away.  
She whipped him, she slashed him,  
She rode him through the mire;  
I would not lend my pony now  
For all the lady's hire.

## The Little Girl With A Curl

There was a little girl who had a little curl  
Right in the middle of her forehead;  
When she was good, she was very, very good,  
And when she was bad she was horrid.

## Dreams

Friday night's dream, on Saturday told,  
Is sure to come true, be it never so old.

## A Cock And Bull Story

The cock's on the housetop blowing his horn;  
The bull's in the barn a-threshing of corn;  
The maids in the meadows are making of hay;  
The ducks in the river are swimming away.
