WHISPER!
Micky's always everywhere;
Watches children while they sleeping.
Round about the attic stair
Sometimes mother saw him peeping.

THE LADY NANCY

What's the gooder being good?
Always every day
Somefing comes and compradicks
Everyfing I play.

I was digging in the garden
And I digged me toe,
Why do I do that for?
I don't know!

Then I goes and chases Sufi,
Sufi won't be chased:
I falled over the wheelbarrow
And hurted all me waist.

I tooks me little pictures out
And laid them in a row,
I told the wind to stop away
And not come round and blow.

Up there comes a norful wind
And brushed the lot away:
Daddie, Gord's been 'noying me
All this day.

THE HANGING SWORD
