Little Jack Jelf
Was put on the shelf
Because he would not spell
"pie";
When his aunt, Mrs. Grace,
Saw his sorrowful face,
She could not help saying,
"Oh, fie!"

And since Master Jelf
Was put on the shelf
Because he would not spell
"pie,"
Let him stand there so grim,

And no more about him,
For I wish him a very good-bye!



Hub a dub dub,
Three men in a tub;
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker;
Turn'em out, knaves all three!
