Jack. Yes, tell us. Wasn’t that old cupboard absolutely bare?
Cross Patch. I found a jar of jam, and Rover found a butter ball. He didn’t care for jam, it seemed, and so I ate it all.
Mother Hubbard. Ate all my jam? My raspberry jam? Now, gal, that wasn’t nice.
Cross Patch. Yes, ’twas real nice, Mother Hubbard, And that cake with plums and spice. Old Rover ate his half of that, and all the butter, too.
Mother Hubbard. I’m glad your mother spanked you!
Cross Patch. Well, spank your old dog, too! Cross Patch, yourself! That lemon pie Went well with jam and cake.
Mother Hubbard. I jest hope all that stuff you et Will make your stomick ache!
Cross Patch. Then Rover’ll have a pain, too. Perhaps he’ll have the colic.
Baby Bunting. If doggie has a pain, Ma Goose Will give him paregoric.
Willie. But how did you get out again?
