To screw down a box;
And then it was fastened
Without any locks.

Of silver so bright!
When placed on the finger,
It fitted so tight!

Nice little thimble!

Woolly and warm,
To wear over all
In the snow or the storm.

With a border upon it,
And a ribbon to tie it
All round a pink bonnet.

Where, in letters of gold,
The hour of the day
You might always behold.

Who wore on his head
A mighty large turban,
Green, yellow, and red.

From the land of Thibet:
Except his white tail,
He was all black as jet.

Look at the yak!

Z was a zebra,
All striped white and black;
And if he were tame,
You might ride on his back.

z!

Pretty striped zebra!
