DICKIE, DICKIEDEXTER Dickie, Dickie DexterHad a wife and vexed her.She put him in a rabbit cageAnd fed him peppermint and sage—Dickie, Dickie Dexter. ON THE ROAD TOTATTLETOWN On the road to TattletownWhat is this I see?A pig upon a pedestal,A cabbage up a tree,A rabbit cutting capersWith a twenty dollar bill—Now if I dont get to Tattle-townThen no one ever will. POLLY AND PETER Polly had some china cowsAnd Peter had a gun.She turned the bossies out to browse,And Peterkin, for fun,Just peppered them with butter beansAnd blew them all to smith-ereens. • • • • • Now what will pretty Polly doFor milk and cream and butter too?
Text Appearing After Image:
PLENTY There are plenty feathers on a henAnd prickers on a rose,There is plenty roaring in a denOf lions, goodness knows; There are plenty fishes in the lakeAnd islands in the sea;There are plenty raisins in this cakeFor even you and me. THE RUNAWAYS A pipe and a spoon and atenpenny nail Stole a tin dishpan andwent for a sail. But the cook he grew curi-ous, Fussy, and furious; Gathered his trappings, andwent on their trail. He found them that nightin a pitiful plight, And sent them all home onthe ten oclock mail.
