D
ING,
dong, bell!
Daddy's in the well !
What threw him in'?
Half a glass of
Gz"n!
Soon as he came out
He took a glass of stout!
Better far, I think,
Had he not touched the drink.
Little Miss Moffet
Stood by the buffet
Making a pudding so :fine,
Along ·came the cook,
With a very big book,
.Says she, "My dear, put m some wine!"
"Wine, brandy, and gin,
Shall never go in,"
'
Says Moffet, "to cooking of mine."
Little Jack Horner
Ran round the corner,
And bought him a bottle of rye;
But when he had some
He was sullen and dumb
And then he- began to cry.
Says Jack, ''Who would think
That one wee drop to drink
Would most make a poor fellow die'?"
