This is wonderful Dame Hubbard—
Name that always rhymes with cupboard—
Ever going out to buy
Something for her dog so sly,
Who would oft her patience try!
This is wonderful Dame Hubbard—
One of Fairy's Friends.

This is Master Simple Simon:
Every day he meets a pie-man;
Every day, so runs the tale,
He will try to catch a whale,
Fishing in his mother's pail!
This is Master Simple Simon—
One of Fairy's Friends.

This is Puss-in-Boots, so clever,
In all dangers ready ever,
In his labours failing never:
Puss-in-Boots, who has a name
Noted on the rolls of Fame!
This is Puss-in-Boots, so clever—
One of Fairy's Friends.
