The Wise Men of Gotham

Three wise men of Gotham
They went to sea in a bowl;
And if the bowl had been stronger,
My song had been longer.

To the Birds

AWAY, birds, away!
Take a little, and leave a little,
And do not come again;

For if you do,
I will shoot you through,
And there is an end of you.

Hey! diddle, diddle

HEY! diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such craft,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Two Little Birds

There were two blackbirds
  Sat upon a hill,
The one named Jack,
  The other named Jill.
    Fly away, Jack!
    Fly away, Jill!
    Come again, Jack!
    Come again, Jill!
