Young lambs

to sell,
If I’d much
money
As I could tell,
I wouldn’t
be crying
“Young lambs
to sell.”
Cobbler,
cobbler,
mend my shoe
Get it done by half
past two.
Stitch it up and
stitch it down
And then
I’ll give you
I do like cheap sea
trips,
Cheap sea trips on
ships.
I like to be on the
deep blue sea,
When the ship she
rolls and dips
Nina needs nine
knitting needles
to knit naughty Nita’s
knickers nicely.
Cecille likes to sell
a pencil
A pencil Cecille
likes to sell
Looks like a pen
with a seal
Rather than a
pencil.

Should she sell

A big blue bug bit
the bold bald bear
And the bold bald
bear
bled blood badly.
It isn’t the hunting on
the hills/ that hurts
the horses’ hooves,
It’s the hammer,
hammer,
hammer on the hard
high road.
Kimbo Kemble

kinsman’s kettle.
Did Kimbo Kemble
kick his kinsman’s
kettle?
If Kimbo Kemble
kicked his
kinsman’s kettle,
Where’s the
kinsman’s kettle
Kimbo Kemble
kicked?
A fairy fell in love
with a beautiful
firefly
She wanted his fire
and she wanted to fly.
An elf said, “The fair
fairy is being funny,
She can make fire
and she can fly
Even without a
firefly!”
The shape-shifter,
shaped like a ship,
shifts his shape to
a shapely sheep.

distinguish sun
from shun?/
Do you shun sin
and seek to
shine/
In any subject
under the sun?/
Can you
distinguish sun
from shun?//
Do you shun a
sheik in order to
seek/
Something that
shines even
without the
sun?//

blacks big boots
With a big blacking-

No girl should be
without a curl/
No guard should be
without a card;/
No girl with curls/
should be without a
guard,/
But no guard with
cards/ should be with
a girl with curls!/

There was a young lady


of Niger
Who smiled as she rode
on a tiger;
They returned from the
ride
With the lady inside,
And the smile on the face
of the tiger.
One who achieves
the
ultimate/
Is willing to catch
a sunbeam;//
He’s willing to know
the unknown
And conquer the
unconquerable!//
The suitor wore shorts
and
a short shooting suit
to a short shoot.
But the shorts didn’t
suit t
he short shooting suit,
And at the short shoot
the short shooting suit
didn’t suit.
Oh, shoot!
He says it seems as
easy as it is, but it
doesn’t seem as easy
as it is nor does what
he says it seems easy,
seems as easy as he
says
it seems it is.

Miss May Shells
suffered measles
having sampled
mussels (3x).
Mennie, Meeny,
Mooney and Mo
Meandered abroad
when
the wind did blow
They wandered and
wondered
and wanted to know
Whether the weather
would
turn to snow.
Of all the felt I ever
felt
I never felt a piece of
felt
That felt the same as
that I felt,
When I first felt that
felt.
If many men knew,
What many men know;
If many men went,
Where many men go;
If many men did, What
many men do;
The world would be
better,
I think so; don’t you?

Molly my sister and
I fell out
And what do you
think
it was all about/
She loves coffee
and I love tea/
And that was the
reason
we could not agree.
Jack Sprat could eat no
fat/Jill his wife could
eat no lean/ and so
between them both
you see/ they licked
the platter clean
