“Black and white and red all over...”
(continued from previous page)Did you ever see a half a pigs head with too eyes.
You saw it with your own two eyes.As I looked out the window I saw white chasing white out of white.
A white dog chasing a white cow out of white cabbage.I have a little sister who lives in the hall and if you tough her she will scream and ball.
A door bell.I have a little sister call peepidypeep she goes over the sea if it ever so deep.
A star.If it took a man a week to wash himself what would it take to dry him.
A towel.I have a little house it would not fit a mouse, it has so many windows as the Lord Mayors house.
A timble.
