The House that Jack Built
This is the house
That Jack built.
This is the corn
That lay in the house
That Jack built.
This is the rat
That ate the corn
That lay in the house
That Jack built.
This is the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the corn
That lay in the house
That Jack built.
This is the dog
That worried the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the corn
That lay in the house
That Jack built.
This is the cow
With a crumpled horn
That tossed the dog
That worried the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the corn
That lay in the house
That Jack built.
This is the maiden
All forlorn
That milked the cow
With a crumpled horn
That tossed the dog
That worried the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the corn
That lay in the house
That Jack built.
The Story of the Hare Who Lost his Spectacles
This is the story of the Hare
Who lost his spectacles.
Owl loved to rest quietly
Whilst no one was watching.
Sitting on a fence one day
He was surprised
When suddenly a kangaroo
Ran close by.
Now this may not seem strange,
But when Owl overheard
Kangaroo whisper
To no one in particular,
“The hare has lost his spectacles”,
Well, he began to wonder.
Presently, the moon appeared from behind a cloud,
And there lying on the grass was Hare,
In the stream that float by the grass – a newt,
And sitting astride a twig of a bush – a bee.
Ostensibly motionless,
The hare was trembling with excitement
For without his spectacles
He appeared completely helpless.
Where were his spectacles?
Could someone have stolen them?
Has he mislaid them?
What was he to do?
Bee wanted to help,
And thinking he had the answer began:
“You probably ate them thinking they were a carrot”.
“No”, interrupted Owl who was wise,
“I have good eye-sight, insight, and foresight,
How could an intelligent hare
Make such a silly mistake?”
But all the time Owl
Had been sitting on the fence scowling.
Kangaroo was hopping mad at this sort of a talk,
She thought herself
A far superior in intelligence to the others,
She was their leader, their guru.
She had the answer:
“Hare, you must go in search of the optician!”
But then she realized that Hare
Was completely helpless without his spectacles.
And so, Kangaroo loudly proclaimed:
“I can’t send Hare in search of anything!”
“You can, guru, you can!” shouted Newt,
“You can send him with Owl”.
But Owl had gone to sleep.
Newt knew too much
To be stopped by so small a problem.
“You can take him in your pouch”.
But, alas, Hare was much too big
To fit into Kangaroo’s pouch.
All this time it had been quite plain to Hare
That the others knew nothing about his spectacles.
And as for all their tempting ideas,
Well, Hare didn’t care.
The lost spectacles were his own affair
And, after all, Hare did have his spare a-pair
The King’s Breakfast
The King asked the Queen
And the Queen asked the Dairymaid:
“Could we have some butter
For the royal slice of bread?”
The Queen asked the Dairymaid,
The Dairymaid said, “Certainly,
I’ll go and tell the cow now
Before she goes to bed.”
The Dairymaid she curtsied,
And went and told the Aulderney:
“Don’t forget the butter
For the royal slice of bread.”
The Aulderney said sleepily,
“You’d better tell his Majesty
That many people nowadays
Like marmalade instead.”
The Dairymaid said, “Fancy!”
And went to her Majesty.
She curtsied to the Queen
And she turned a little red.
“Excuse me, your Majesty,
for taking of the liberty,
But marmalade is tasty
If it’s very thickly spread.”
The Queen said, “Oh!”
And went to his Majesty:
“Talking of the butter
For the royal slice of bread,
Many people think
That marmalade is nicer.
Would you like to try
A little marmalade instead?”
The King said, “Bother!”
And then he said, “Oh, dear me!”
The King sobbed, “Oh, dear me!”
And went back to bed.
“Nobody,” he whimpered,
“Could call me a fussy man.
I only wan a little bit
Of butter for my bread!”
The Queen said, “There, there!”
And went to the Dairymaid.
The Dairymaid said, “There, there!”
And went to the shed.
The Cow said, “There, there!
I didn’t really mean it;
Here’s milk for his porringer
And butter for his bread.”
The Queen took the butter
And brought it to his Majesty.
The King said, “Butter, eh?”
And bounced out of bed.
“Nobody,” he said,
As he kissed her tenderly.
“Nobody,” he said,
As he slid down the banisters.
“Nobody, my darling,
could call me a fussy man –
BUT
I DO like a little bit
Of butter to my bread.”
