OLD MOTHER GOOSE.
Old Mother Goose, when She wanted to wander, Would ride through the air On a very fine gander. Mother Goose had a house, 'Twas built in a wood, Where an owl at the door For sentinel stood. This is her son Jack, A plain-looking lad, He is not very good, Nor yet very bad. She sent him to market, A live goose he bought, Here, mother, says he, It will not go for nought. Jack's goose and her gander Grew very fond, They'd both eat together, Or swim in one pond.

SHE SENT HIM TO MARKET, A LIVE GOOSE HE BOUGHT.
