Seven lobsters in a dish,

As fresh as any heart could wish;

Six beetles against the wall,

Close by an old woman's apple-stall ;

Five puppies by our dog Ball,

Who daily for their breakfast call;

Four horses stuck in a bog;

Three monkeys tied to a clog;

Two pudding heads would choke a dog,

With a gaping, wide-mouthed, waddling frog."

"Nine peacocks in the air,

I wonder how they all came there!
I don't know, and I don't care;
Eight joiners in Joiners' Hall,

Working with their tools and all;
Seven lobsters in a dish,

As fresh as any heart could wish;

Six beetles against the wall,

Close by an old woman's apple-stall ;

Five puppies by our dog Ball,

Who daily for their breakfast call;

Four horses stuck in a bog;

Three monkeys tied to a clog;

Two pudding heads would choke a dog,

With a gaping, wide-mouthed, waddling frog."

"Ten comets in the sky,

Some low, and some high;

Nine peacocks in the air,

I wonder how they all came there !
I don't know, and I don't care;
Eight joiners in Joiners' Hall,
Working with their tools and all;
Seven lobsters in a dish,

As fresh as any heart could wish;
Six beetles against the wall,

Close by an old woman's apple-stall ;

Five puppies by our dog Ball,

Who daily for their breakfast call ;

Four horses stuck in a bog;

Three monkeys tied to a clog;

Two pudding heads would choke a dog,

With a gaping, wide-mouthed, waddling frog."

"Eleven ships sailing o'er the main,

Some bound for France, and some for Spain,

I wish them all safe home again;

Ten comets in the sky,

Some low, and some high;

Nine peacocks in the air,

I wonder how they all came there!

I don't know, and I don't care ;

Eight joiners in Joiners' Hall,
Working with their tools and all;
Seven lobsters in a dish,

As fresh as any heart could wish ;
Six beetles against the wall,

Close by an old woman's apple-stall ;

Five puppies by our dog Ball,

Who daily for their breakfast call;

Four horses stuck in a bog;

Three monkeys tied to a clog;

Two pudding heads would choke a dog; With a gaping, wide-mouthed, waddling frog."

"Twelve huntsmen, with horns and hounds, Hunting over other men's grounds;

Eleven ships sailing o'er the main,

Some bound for France, and some for Spain,

I wish them all safe home again;

Ten comets in the sky,

Some low, and some high;

Nine peacocks in the air,

I wonder how they all came there!
I don't know, and I don't care;
Eight joiners in Joiners' Hall,
Working with their tools and all;
Seven lobsters in a dish,

As fresh as any heart could wish;

Six beetles against the wall,
Close by an old woman's apple-stall;

Five puppies by our dog Ball,

Who daily for their breakfast call;

Four horses stuck in a bog;

Three monkeys tied to a clog;

Two pudding heads would choke a dog; With a gaping, wide-mouthed, waddling frog."
