- Ding, Dong, Dill,
Pussy in the well,
Who put him in,
Little Tomy Flynn,
Wasn't that a naughty thing.
To try to drown the poor pussy cat.Kathleen Brady. - Goosey, goosey gander whither do you wander,
Up stairs and down stairs in my lady's chamber,
There I met an old man who
wouldn't say his prayers,
I caught him by the two legs
And I threw him down the stairs.Agnes Gilligan. - A red sky in the morning is a shepherd's warning,
A red sky in the night is a shepherd's delight.Maura T. McKee.
