    The wren "The wren, the king of all birds.
    St. Stephen's Day.
    Was caught in the furge.
    Its up with the kettle,
    And down with the pan,
    And give me some money,
    To bury the wren."
    When they get enough money they divide it equally among them and they buy lemonade, biscuits, cake, and sweets.
