An Alphabet of Old Friends
O

Once I saw a little bird,
Come hop, hop, hop;
So I cried, "Little bird,
Will you stop, stop, stop?"

And was going to the window,
To say, "How do you do?"
When he shook his little tail,
And far away he flew.

P

Pease-pudding hot, pease-pudding cold;
Pease-pudding in the pot, nine days old.

Q Queen was in the parlour, eating bread and honey.
R

Ride a-cock horse to Banbury Cross,
To see an old woman get up on her horse;
Rings on her fingers and bells at her toes.
And so she makes music wherever she goes.

S

Simple Simon met a pieman,
Going to the fair;
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Let me taste your ware!"'

T

Taffy was a Welshman,
Taffy was a thief,
Taffy came to my house,
And stole a leg of beef

I Went to Taffy's house
Taffy was not at home

Taffy came to my house
And stole a marrow-bone.

I Went to Taffy's house
Taffy was in bed;
I took the marrow-bone,
And broke Taffy's head.
