CHILD PLAY
117
There was a man who had no eyes,
He went abroad to view the skies;
He saw a tree with apples on it,
He took no apples off, yet left no apples
on it.
Pease-Porridge hot, pease-porridge cold,
Pease-porridge in the pot, nine days old.
Spell me that without a P,
And a clever scholar you will be.
Thomas A'Tattamus took two T's,
To tie two tups to two tall trees,
To frighten the terrible Thomas A
Tattamus—
Tell me how many T's are in that?
In marble walls as white as milk,
Lined with a skin as soft as silk;
Within a fountain crystal clear,
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold
Egg.
