Little children, never give
Pain to things that feel and live:
Let the little robin come
For the crumbs you save at home,-
As his meat you throw along
He'll repay you with a song;
Never hurt a timid hare
Peeping from his green grass lair,
Let her come and sport and play
On the lawn at close of day;
The little lark goes soaring high
To bright the windows of the sky,
And fluttering on an untiered wing,-
Oh! let him sing a happy song,
Nor do these gentle creatures wrong.

She wouldn't believe
This pencil has
A magical eraser.
She said I was a silly moo,
She said I was a liar too,
She dared me to prove that it was true,
And so what could I do-
I erase her!

"Walk the plank" says Captain Jim.
"But Captain Jim, I cannot swim ."
"Then you must steer us through the gale."
"But Captain Jim, I cannot sail. "
"Then down with the galley slaves you go."
"But Captain Jim, I cannot row."
"Then you must be the pirate's clerk."
"But Captain Jim, I cannot work."
"Then a pirate captain you must be."
"Thank you Jim." says Captain Me.

Riddle me, riddle me, what is that,
Over the head, and under the hat?

Elizabeth,Lizzy,Betsy and Bess,
All went together to seek a bird's;
They found a nest with five eggs in it;
They each took one and left four in it.
