“It gives me pleasure to introduce

Some very old friends,” says Mother Goose.

“Here’s Humpty Dumpty and Little Boy Blue,

Little Bo Peep and Miss Muffet, too.

Little Jack Horner and Dickory Dare,

The queer little Pig who flew up in the air.

Simple Simon and Old Mother Hubbard,

The dear old lady who went to the cupboard.

Here’s Marjory Daw and Baby Bunting,

Whose father boldly went a-hunting.

With a rub-a-dub-dub,

and a ding, dong, bell,

I’m very sure you’ll love them well.”

(To be read to the children)

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep,

And can’t tell where to fi nd them.

Leave them alone,

and they’ll come home,

Wagging their tails behind them.

(To be used as a rote song)

Little Miss Muffet Sat on a tuffet,Eating her curds and whey.There came a big spider Who sat down beside her,And frightened Miss Muffet away.
