The Robin and Wren
The Robin and the Wren
Fought about the porridge-pan;
And ere the Robin got a spoon
The Wren had ate the porridge down.
Some more nursery rhymes to enjoy
Girls And Boys
Girls And Boys come out to play.
The moon doth shine as bright as day.
Come with a whoop and come with a call.
Come with a good will or not at all.
Leave your supper and leave your sleep.
Come to your play fellows in the street.
Up the ladder and down the wall.
A half penny loaf will serve you all.
