Mary had a little lamb

Posted Date: 03/20/2024

Mary had a little lamb; its fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go. It followed her to school one day. That was against the rule. It made the children laugh and play to see a lamb at school.

Hey, diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle. The cow jumped over the moon. The little dog laughed to see such sport, and the dish ran away with the spoon. The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout. Down came the rain and washed the spider out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain, and the itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.

It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring. He bumped his head and went to bed and didn’t get up till morning. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick. Jack jump over the candlestick. Jack jumped high, Jack jumped low, Jack jumped over and burned his toe. Hickory, dickory, dock, the mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck one, the mouse ran down! Hickory, dickory, dock. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again! 

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after. Are you sleeping, Brother John? Morning bells are ringing: ding, ding, dong. Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey. Along came a spider who sat down beside her and frightened Miss Muffet away.

I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen. She washed up the dishes, and kept the house clean. She went to the mill to fetch me some flour, and always got home in less than an hour. She baked me my bread, she brewed me my ale, she sat by the fire and she told a fine tale!
