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

  2. A Rhyme

    Share Share Post
    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
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
