Two Legs Sat on Three Legs

WO legs sat on three legs,

Τη

With one leg in his lap;

In comes four legs,

And runs away with one leg,

Up jumps two legs,

Catches up three legs,

Throws it after four legs

And makes him bring one leg back.

A

S I was going to sell my eggs,

I met a man with bandy legs,

Bandy legs and crooked toes,

I tripped up his heels and he fell on his nose.

Baa, Baa, Black Sheep

AA, baa, Black Sheep, have you any wool?

BAA

Yes, marry, sir, three bags full,

One for my master, one for the dame,

One for the little boy that lives in the lane.

(Teeth and gums)

HIRTY white horses on a red hill.

ΤΗ

Now they tramp, now they champ, now they stand still.

A

(Cherry)

SI went through the garden gap,

Who should I meet but Dick Red-cap!

A stick in his hand, a stone in his throat.

If you'll tell me this riddle, I'll give you a groat.

PEA

EASE-PORRIDGE hot, pease-porridge cold,
Pease-porridge in the pot, nine days old.
Spell me that in four letters.

They all went together to seek a bird's nest.

They found one with five eggs in,

They each took one, and left four in.

Come, Butter, Come

HOME, butter, come,

Co

Come, butter, come!

Peter stands at the gate
Waiting for a butter cake;
Come, butter, come."

As I Was Going to St. Ives

A

SI was going to St. Ives,

I met a man with seven wives,

Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kits;
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?
