Wishing there were more,

Then
There were four.

Merry as could be,
One played upon the hearth
Then
There were three.

Puzzled what to do,

Priscilla Penelope Powers one day
Took tea at a neighbor’s just over the way.
Two pieces of pie they urged her to take,
And seven whole slices of chocolate cake!
“Oh, dear,” sighed Priscilla Penelope Powers,
“I wish I was your little girl ’stead of ours!”
