When children are hungry,
O, who can tell how
They love the fresh milk
From the good moolly cow!
So, when you meet moolly,
Just say, with a bow,
"Thank you for your milk,
Mrs. Good Moolly Cow."
NOTHING BUT BA-A.
Little Fanny and Lucy,
One sunshiny day,
Went to walk in the meadow
And have some play.
They said to a sheep,
"Pray how's your mamma?"
But the lazy sheep answered
Them nothing but "ba-a!"
JAMES AND HIS MOTHER.
James and his mother
They loved one another,
And they went to walk one day;
And as they were walking,
And laughing and talking,
They saw some boys at play.
"Let me go; let me run;
Let me see all the fun!"
Said little James then to his mother;
"Hear them laugh, hear them shout,
See them tumbling about,
And jumping one over the other."
"Pray let me go too,
O dear mother, do!"
And Jemmie ran off to the boys;
He kicked, and he thumped,
He laughed and he jumped,
He shouted and made a great noise.
But James was so small
That he soon got a fall,
And tumbled down into a hole;
He was not much hurt,
But covered with dirt—
There Jemmie lay rubbing his poll.
