Simple Simon
Simple Simon met a pieman
Going to the fair;
Says Simple Simon to the pieman, “Let me taste your ware.”
Says the pieman to Simple Simon, “Show me first your penny.”
Says Simple Simon to the pieman, “Indeed, I have not any.”
Simple Simon went a-fishing For to catch a whale;
But all the water he had got Was in his mother’s pail.
He went to catch a dicky-bird, And thought he could not fail, Because he
had a pinch of salt
To put upon its tail.
Three Blind Mice
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?
