1. Dame Trot and Her Cat
Dame Trot and her cat
sat down for a chat;

and Puss sat on that.
Pussy, Pussy, says the Dame,
can you, can you catch a rat,
or a mouse in the dark?
Purr, says the cat.

when you are King,
I shall be Queen.

violets are blue,
Julie is sweet,
and so are you.
7. Four and Twenty Tailors
Four and twenty tailors
went to kill a snail,
the best man among them
durst not touch her tail;
she put out her horns,
like a little Kyloe cow,
run, taylors, run,
or she'll kill you all even now.
8. Pussy Cat
Pussy cat, pussy cat,
where have you been?
I've been to London
to look at the Queen.
Pussy cat, pusy cat,
what did you there?
I frightened a lit-tle mouse
under her chair.
9. Robin the Bobbin
Robin the Bobbin, the big-bellied Ben,
he ate more meat than fourscore men;
he ate a cow, he ate a calf,
he ate a butcher and a half,
he ate a church, he ate a steeple
he ate the priest and all the people!
A cow and a calf an ox and a half,
a church and a steeple and all the good people, and yet
he complained that, Ah!
That his stomach was n't full.
10. Doctor Foster
Doctor Foster went to Gloucester
in a shower of rain;
he stepp'd in a puddle, right up to his middle and never
went there again.
11.
If all the seas were one sea,
what a great sea that would be!
If all the trees were one tree,
what a great tree that would be!
If all the axes were one axe,
what a great axe that would be!
If all the men were one man,
what a great man that would be!
And if the great man took the great axe,
and cut down the great tree,
and let it fall, let it fall into the great sea,
what a splish-splash that would be,
what a splish-splash that would be!
12. Little Betty Blue

lost her holiday shoe.
What can little Betty do?
Give her another ...shoe.
