Minester and leaster
Fling the beetle to the door
And in comes Cayster.

- Old grandmother Nally
Went to the market
With a basket of eggs on her shoulder
The basket was heavy
And she soon got tierd
She sat on a thorn-bush
She shouted How-How
For a thorn had stuck in her leg
She never came out
But died in there in the thorn-bush
