little pig had a bit of bread and butter;
4. This little pig had none;
5. This little pig said "Wee, wee, wee,"
I can't find my way home!
_Note._ Addressed to the five toes.
Three children sliding on the ice,
Upon a summer's day;
It so fell out, they all fell in,
The rest they ran away.
Now had these children been at home,
Or sliding on dry ground,
Ten thousand pounds to one penny,
They had not all been drowned.
You parents that have children dear,
And eke you that have none;
If you would have them safe abroad,
Pray keep them safe at home.
Three little dogs were basking in the cinders;
Three little cats were playing in the windows;
Three little mice popped out of a hole,
And a piece of cheese they stole.
The three little cats jumped down in a trice,
And cracked the bones of the three little mice.
To market, to market, to buy a plum bun,
Home again, home again, market is done.
Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
Stole a pig and away he ran.
The pig was ate, and Tom was beat,
And Tom ran crying down the street.
Two little blackbirds sat upon a hill,
One named Jack, the other named Gill;
Fly away, Jack; fly away, Gill;
Come again, Jack; come again, Gill.
Up the hill urge me not,
Down the hill ride me not,
Along the level spare me not,
In the stable forget me not.
When I was a batchelor,
I lived by myself,
And all the bread and cheese I got,
I put upon the shelf.
The rats and the mice they made such a strife,
I was forced to go to London to buy me a wife:
The roads were so bad, and the lanes were so narrow,
I was forced to bring my wife home in a wheel-barrow.
The wheel-barrow broke, and my wife had a fall,
Down came wheel-barrow, wife and all.
THE END.
C. WHITTINGHAM, CHISWICK.
