A Sloven!
A SAD CASE.
Matilda Belinda Lucinda MacGovern
Was very untidy – you might say, a sloven!
She always objected to dusting and cleaning;
Towards brushes and brooms she had no sort of leaning.
In fact it was said that the sight of a duster,
Upstairs or downstairs, would simply disgust her;
And a broom to the room of this sad Miss. MacGovern
Was as strange as a spider’s web in a hot oven.
Matilda Belinda Lucinda MacGovern,
Oh! what could have taught her to be such a sloven?
The birds or the bees? – show us anything neater!
The daisies? – Ah! What could be nicer and sweeter?

Huff And Puff!
Presently a wolf came along and knocked at the door, and said, — “little pig, little pig, let me come in!”
To which the pig answered, — “No, no, by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin!”
This made the wolf angry, and he said, — “Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in!”

The Old Woman Never Told Lies!
There was an old woman lived under the hill,
And if she’s not gone she lives there still.
Baked apples she sold, and cranberry pies,
And she’s the old woman that never told lies.

Three Bears – Three Chairs!
“Who’s broken my small chair?”
They turned to draw their chairs a little nearer;

“Who’s sat in my chair?” said the Mother, clearer;
And squeaked the little Cub, “Who’s broken my small chair?”
