THE WONDERFUL LADIES. EVERY lady in this land Has twenty nails upon each hand Five and twenty on hands and feet All this is true without deceit. [As you will find, if you pause at the right places.] RIDDLE ME, RIDDLE ME. RIDDLE me, riddle me, rot tot tot, A staff in his hand and a stone in his throat, LADYBIRD, FLY AWAY HOME! ARITHMETIC. MULTIPLICATION is vexation, Division's twice as bad; The Rule of Three it puzzles me, And Fractions drive me mad! In a narrow lane; Says this king to that king, "Where have you been?" "Oh, I've been a hunting, With my dog and my doe." "Pray lend him to me, That I may do so." "There's the dog, TAKE the dog." "What's the dog's name?" "I've told you already." "Pray tell me again." |
