“The Little Man and His Gun.”

There was a little man, and he had a little gun,

And his bullets were made of lead, lead, lead;

He went unto the brook, and he shot a little duck,

And hit her right through the head, head, head.

Then he went home unto his little wife Joan,

And bade her a good fire make, make, make,

To roast the little duck he had shot at the brook,

Whilst he went and shot the drake, drake, drake.

Lick The Platter Clean!

Illustration:  Jack Sprat.  Mother Goose’s Nursery Rhymes.  McLoughlin Brothers: New York. Ca 1900.

“Jack Sprat and his Wife.”

 Jack Sprat could eat no fat,

His wife could eat no lean;

And so betwixt them both, you see,

They licked the platter clean.
