- I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen,
She washed the dishes and kept the house clean,
She went to the mill to fetch me some flour,
She brought it home in less than an hour,
She baked me some bread and she brewed me my ale,
She sat down by the fire and told many a tale.

This is the way the story goes
and pop goes the weasel.
Maura T. McKee.All of a row, bend the bow,
Shot at a pigeon and killed a crow.
Maura T. McKee.
- Christmas is coming and the geese are getting fat,
