weak as a wastle;
And all the king's horses
Cannot pull it down.

Eggs, butter, cheese, bread,
Stick, stock, stone, dead.
Stick him up, stick him down,
Stick him in the old man's crown.

Joseph Smith bought a rake,
And sold it for some corn;
He lived a week on johnny cake,
And now he's dead and gone.

Shoe the horse, and shoe the mare,
But let the little colt go bare.

There was an Old Woman,
And what do you think?
She lived upon nothing but
Victuals and drink;
And though victuals and drink
Were the chief of her diet,
This little Old Woman
Could never be quiet.

My story's ended, spoon is bended;
If you don't like it,
Go to the next door,
And get it mended.

Come when you're called,
Do what you're bid;
Shut the door after you,
Never be chid.

There was an old crow
Sat upon a clod;
There's an end of my song,
That's odd!

Little Robin Red-breast
Sat upon a rail,
Needle, naddle, went his head,
Wiggle, waggle, went his tail.

Play, play every day,
Harry throws his time away.
He must work and he must read,
And then he'll be a man indeed.

See-saw-Jack in the hedge,
Which is the way to London Bridge?

Little Nancy Etticote,
In a white petticoat,
With a red nose;
The longer she stands,
The shorter she grows.

A red sky at night
Is the shepherd's delight.
A red sky in the morning
Is the shepherd's warning.

There was a little boy and a little girl
Lived in our alley;
Says the little boy to the little girl,
"Shall I, oh, shall I?"
Says the little girl to the little boy,
"What shall we do?"
Says the little boy to the little girl,
"I will kiss you!"

A good child, a good child,
As I suppose you be;
Never laugh nor smile,
At the tickling of your knee.

Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean,
And the pleasant land.

Made in London,
Sold at New York,
Stops a bottle,
And is a cork.

Pit, pat, well-a-day,
Little Robin flew away;
Where can little Robin be?
Gone into the cherry-tree.
