The Real Mother Goose

 

 
I used to read this book as a child over and over again. I loved the nursery rhymes and didn't mind reading them over and over again. I found this the other day at the thrift store so I bought if for myself. Rhymes are good for children and my older girls missed out on this in their education so backtracking can't hurt.
 
 
Cock-a-doodle-do!
Cock-a-doodle-do!
My dame has lost her shoe,
My master's lost his fiddle-stick
And knows not what to do.
 
Cock-a-doodle do!
What is my dame to do?
Till master finds his fiddle-stick,
She'll dance without her shoe.
 
 
The Pumpkin-Eater
Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater,
Had a wife and couldn't keep her.
He put her in a pumkin shell,
And there he kept her very well.
