Sing-Song: I Have a Poll Parrot

Sing-Song · 2 min read

I have a Poll parrot,
And Poll is my doll,
And my nurse is Polly,
And my sister Poll.

“Polly!” cried Polly

“Polly!” cried Polly,
“Don’t tear Polly dolly”—
While soft-hearted Poll
Trembled for the doll.

A house of cards
Is neat and small
Shake the table,
It must fall.

Find the Court cards
One by one;
Raise it, roof it,—
Now it’s done:—
Shake the table!
That’s the fun.

The rose with such a bonny blush,
What has the rose to blush about?
If it’s the sun that makes her flush,
What’s in the sun to flush about?

The rose that blushes rosy red,
She must hang her head;
The lily that blows spotless white,
She may stand upright.

Oh, fair to see
Bloom-laden cherry tree,
Arrayed in sunny white;
An April day’s delight,
Oh, fair to see!

Oh, fair to see
Fruit-laden cherry tree,
With balls of shining red
Decking a leafy head,
Oh, fair to see!

Clever little Willie wee,
Bright-eyed, blue-eyed little fellow;
Merry little Margery
With her hair all yellow.

Little Willie in his heart
Is a sailor on the sea,
And he often cons a chart
With sister Margery.
