NURSERY MIS-RHYMES

 

 

 

 

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water

When they got there

To their despair

There wasn’t a pail in sight.

And it’s well renowned

That water flows down

Jack and Jill were not that bright.

 

Roses are red

Your eyes are green

They reside in your head

With a nose in between.

 

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All his clothes from bow tie to aglets

Got caught in the brambles I seem to recall

 

Roses are red

Your eyes are green

And with their cross thread

They survey every scene.

 

Bert the lairy quite contrary

Why does your red nose glow

With silvery drips right down to your lips

At the sight of three maids in a row.
