Grandmother Grundy
O Grandmother Grundy,
Now what would you say
If the katydids carried
Your glasses away—
Carried them off
To the top of the sky
And used them to watch
The eclipses go by?
Needles and Pins
Needles and pins, hooks and eyes!
I saw a doughnut in the skies.
Flipperjinks the circus clown
Climbed a tree and got it down.
A Toe Rime
Tassle is a captain,
Tinsel is a mayor,
Tony is a baker-boy
With ’lasses in his hair,
Tipsy is a sailor,
With anchors on his chest,
And Tiny is the baby boy
Who bosses all the rest.
