Sing  a song  of sixpence, 
A pocketful of rye;
Four 4 and twenty 20 blackbirds,                       
Baked  in a pie.
When the pie  was opened,
The birds  began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish,
To put before the king?

The king  was in the counting-house,
Counting  out his money;  
The queen  was in the parlor,
Eating bread  and honey.
The maid  was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
When down  came a blackbird,
And bit her  on the nose.



Solomon Grundy,
Born on Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday, 
Took ill on Thursday,
Worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday,
This is the end,
Of Solomon Grundy.

Beside a crooked stile;

And they all lived together, 
In a little crooked house.

And sent them to bed.



Three  blind mice,

See  how they run!  
They all ran  after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails, 
With a carving knife.
Did you ever see  such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice.  


The Star or
by Jane Taylor, 1806 

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder ? what you are.
Up  above the world  so high,
Like a diamond  in the sky. 
When the blazing sun  is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the trav'ller in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue  sky you keep,
And often thro' my curtains  peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun  is in the sky.
'Tis your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the trav'ller in the dark:
Tho' I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Snips and snails , and puppy dog  tails,
That's what little boys  are made of.

Along with Captain Gooding,
And there we saw the men   and boys, 
As thick as hasty pudding.

And with the girls   be handy

Had a wife  and couldn't keep her;
