  1. The pig is on the mire,
    The cow is on the grass,
    The man without a wife is better than an ass,
    "Let me up" says the woman,
    "Let me down" says the man,
    If I had a hammer I would hammer the bottom of an old tin can.
    I bought a pound of bacon.
    I fried it on the pan,
    No one will eat it but myself and Mary Anne.
    Margaret Gilligan.

  2. Molly in bed and the door wide open,
    The ass in the gap and the car out grazing.
