Mother Goose: The Greedy Man

The greedy man is he who sits
And bites bits out of plates,
Or else takes up an almanac
And gobbles all the dates.

The Ten O'Clock Scholar

A diller, a dollar, a ten o'clock scholar!
What makes you come so soon?
You used to come at ten o'clock,
But now you come at noon.

Cock-A-Doodle-Do

Oh, my pretty cock, oh, my handsome cock,
I pray you, do not crow before day,
And your comb shall be made of the very beaten gold,
And your wings of the silver so gray.

An Icicle

Lives in winter,
Dies in summer,
And grows with its roots upward!

A Ship'S Nail

Over the water,
And under the water,
And always with its head down.

Willy, Willy

Willy, Willy Wilkin
Kissed the maids a-milking,
Fa, la, la!
And with his merry daffing
He set them all a-laughing,
Ha, ha, ha!

The Old Woman Of Leeds

There was an old woman of Leeds,
Who spent all her time in good deeds;
She worked for the poor
Till her fingers were sore,
This pious old woman of Leeds!

The Boy In The Barn

A little boy went into a barn,
And lay down on some hay.
An owl came out, and flew about,
And the little boy ran away.
