+
+ PETER PATTER _told them to me,
+ All the little rimes,
+ Whispered them among the bushes
+ Half a hundred times.
+
+ Peter lives upon a mountain
+ Pretty near the sun,
+ Knows the bears and birds and rabbits
+ Nearly every one;
+ Has a home among the alders,
+ Bed of cedar bark,
+ Walks alone beneath the pine trees
+ Even when it's dark.
+
+ Squirrels tell him everything
+ That happens in the trees,
+ Cricket in the gander-grass
+ Sings of all he sees;
+ Rimes from bats and butterflies,
+ Crabs and waterfowl;
+ But the best of all he gets
+ From his Uncle Owl.
+
+ Sometimes when its day-time,
+ But mostly in the night,
+ They sit beneath an oak tree
+ And hug each other tight,
+ And tell their rimes and riddles
+ Where the catty creatures prowl--
+ Funny little Peter Patter
+ And his Uncle Owl._

+ JINGLE, JINGLE, JACK, A COPPER DOWN A CRACK]
+
+ A COPPER DOWN A CRACK
+
+
+ Jingle, jingle, Jack,
+ A copper down a crack.
+ Twenty men and all their wives,
+ With sticks and picks and pocket knives,
+ Digging for their very lives
+ To get the copper back.
+
+
+
+
+ I'M MUCH TOO BIG FOR A FAIRY
+
+
+ I'm much too big for a fairy,
+ And much too small for a man,
+ But this is true:
+ Whatever I do,
+ I do it the best I can.
+
+
+
+
+ DID YOU EVER PLAY TAG WITH A TIGER?
+
+
+ Did you ever play tag with a tiger,
+ Or ever play boo with a bear;
+ Did you ever put rats in the rain-barrel
+ To give poor old Granny a scare?
+
+ It's fun to play tag with a tiger,
+ It's fun for the bear to say "boo,"
+ But if rats are found in the rain-barrel
+ Old Granny will put you in too.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ THE BLUE SONG
+
+
+ Hot mush and molasses all in a blue bowl--
+ Eat it, it's good for you, sonny.
+ 'T will make you grow tall as a telephone pole--
+ Eat it, it's good for you, sonny.
+
+ Fresh fish and potatoes all on a blue plate--
+ Eat it up smart now, my sonny.
+ 'T will make you as jolly and fat as Aunt Kate--
+ Eat it up quick now, my sonny.
+
+ Sweet milk from a nanny-goat in a blue cup--
+ Drink it, it's good for you, sonny,
+ 'T will fill you, expand you, and help you grow up,
+ And make a real man of you, sonny.
+
+
+
+
+ HIPPITY HOP TO BED
+
+
+ O it's hippity hop to bed!
+ I'd rather sit up instead.
+ But when father says "must,"
+ There's nothing but just
+ Go hippity hop to bed.
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ AWAY TO THE RIVER
+
+
+ Away to the river, away to the wood,
+ While the grasses are green and the berries are good!
+ Where the locusts are scraping their fiddles and bows,
+ And the bees keep a-coming wherever one goes.
+
+ Oh, it's off to the river and off to the hills,
+ To the land of the bloodroot and wild daffodils,
+ With a buttercup blossom to color my chin,
+ And a basket of burs to put sandberries in.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ OUR LITTLE PAT
+
+
+ Our little Pat
+ Was chasing the cat
+ And kicking the kittens about.
+ When mother said "Quit!"
+ He ran off to sit
+ On the top of the woodpile and pout;
+ But a sly little grin
+ Soon slid down his chin
+ And let all the sulkiness out.
+
+
+
+
+ THE ANIMAL SHOW
+
+
+ Father and mother and Bobbie will go
+ To see all the sights at the animal show.
+ Where lions and bears
+ Sit on dining room chairs,
+ Where a camel is able
+ To stand on a table,
+ Where monkeys and seals
+ All travel on wheels,
+ And a Zulu baboon
+ Rides a baby balloon.
+ The sooner you're ready, the sooner we'll go.
+ Aboard, all aboard, for the Animal Show!
+
+ [Illustration: THE ANIMAL SHOW]
+
+
+
+
+ TOMMY TRIMBLE
+
+
+ Billy be nimble,
+ Hurry and see
+ Old Tommy Trimble
+ Climbing a tree.
+ He claws with his fingers
+ And digs with his toes.
+ The longer he lingers
+ The slower he goes.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ DICKIE, DICKIE DEXTER
+
+
+ Dickie, Dickie Dexter
+ Had a wife and vexed her.
+ She put him in a rabbit cage
+ And fed him peppermint and sage--
+ Dickie, Dickie Dexter.
+
+
+
+
+ ON THE ROAD TO TATTLETOWN
+
+
+ On the road to Tattletown
+ What is this I see?
+ A pig upon a pedestal,
+ A cabbage up a tree,
+ A rabbit cutting capers
+ With a twenty dollar bill--
+ Now if I don't get to Tattletown
+ Then no one ever will.
+
+
+
+
+ POLLY AND PETER
+
+
+ Polly had some china cows
+ And Peter had a gun.
+ She turned the bossies out to browse,
+ And Peterkin, for fun,
+ Just peppered them with butter beans
+ And blew them all to smithereens.
+
+ * * *
+
+ Now what will pretty Polly do
+ For milk and cream and butter too?
+
+
+
+
+ I WENT TO TOWN ON MONDAY
+
+
+ I went to town on Monday
+ To buy myself a coat,
+ But on the way I met a man
+ Who traveled with a caravan,
+ And bought a billy-goat.
+
+ I went to town on Tuesday
+ And bought a fancy vest.
+ I kept the pretty bucklestraps,
+ Buttonholes and pocketflaps,
+ And threw away the rest.
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ I went to town on Thursday
+ To buy a loaf of bread,
+ But when I got there, goodness sakes!
+ The town was full of rattlesnakes--
+ The bakers all were dead.
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ I went to town on Saturday
+ To get myself a wife,
+ But when I saw the lady fair
+ I gnashed my teeth and pulled my hair
+ And scampered for my life.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
+
+
+ Where are you going, sister Kate?
+ I'm going to swing on the garden gate,
+ And watch the fairy gypsies dance
+ Their tim-tam-tum on the cabbage-plants--
+ The great big one with the purple nose,
+ And the tiny tad with the pinky toes.
+
+ Where are you going, brother Ben?
+ I'm going to build a tiger-pen.
+ I'll get iron and steel and 'lectric wire
+ And build it a hundred feet, or higher,
+ And put ten tigers in it too,
+ And a big wildcat, and--mebbe--you.
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ Where are you going, mother mine?
+ I'm going to sit by the old grapevine,
+ And watch the gliding swallow bring
+ Clay for her nest from the meadow spring--
+ Clay and straw and a bit of thread
+ To weave it into a baby's bed.
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ Where are you going, grandma dear?
+ I'm going, love, where the skies are clear,
+ And the light winds lift the poppy flowers
+ And gather clouds for the summer showers,
+ Where the old folks and the children play
+ On the warm hillside through the livelong day.
+
+
+
+
+ CHRISTOPHER CRUMP
+
+
+ Christopher Crump,
+ All in a lump,
+ Sits like a toad on the top of a stump.
+ He stretches and sighs,
+ And blinks with his eyes,
+ Bats at the beetles and fights off the flies.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ PINKY, PINKY, PANG
+
+
+ A tortoise sat on a slippery limb
+ And played his pinky pang
+ For a dog-fish friend that called on him,
+ And this is what he sang:
+ "Oh, the skies are blue,
+ And I wait for you
+ To come where the willows hang,
+ And dance all night
+ By the white moonlight
+ To my pinky, pinky, pang!"
+
+
+
+
+ TICK, TOCK
+
+
+ Tick, tock! Tick, tock!
+ Forty 'leven by the clock.
+ Tick, tock! Tick, tock!
+ Put your ear to Grandpa's ticker,
+ Like a pancake, only thicker.
+ Tick, tock! Tick, tock!
+ Catch a squirrel in half a minute,
+ Grab a sack and stick him in it.
+ Tick, tock! Tick, tock!
+ Mister Bunny feeds on honey,
+ Tea, and taters--ain't it funny?
+ Tick, tock! Tick, tock!
+ When he goes to bed at night,
+ Shoves his slippers out of sight;
+ That is why Old Fox, the sinner,
+ Had to go without his dinner.
+ Tick, tock! Tick, tock!
+ So says Grandpa's clock.
+
+ [Illustration: TICK, TOCK! TICK, TOCK! FORTY 'LEVEN BY THE CLOCK]

+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ UNDER THE WILLOW
+
+
+ Put down your pillow under the willow,
+ Hang up your hat in the sun,
+ And lie down to snooze as long as you choose,
+ For the plowing and sowing are done.
+
+ Pick up your pillow from under the willow,
+ And clamber out into the sun.
+ Get a fork and a rake for goodness' sake,
+ For the harvest time has begun.
+
+
+
+
+ HIGH ON THE MANTEL
+
+
+ High on the mantel rose a moan--
+ It came from an idol carved in bone--
+ "Oh, it's so lonesome here alone,
+ With no one near to love me!"
+
+ A cautious smile came over the face
+ Of a pensive maid on a Grecian vase
+ "Are you sure," she said, with charming grace,
+ "There's no one near to love you?"
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ BOOTS, BOOTS, BOOTS
+
+
+ Buster's got a popper gun,
+ A reg'lar one that shoots,
+ And Teddy's got an engine
+ With a whistler that toots.
+ But I've got something finer yet--
+ A pair of rubber boots.
+ Oh, it's boots, boots, boots,
+ A pair of rubber boots!
+ I could walk from here to China
+ In a pair of rubber boots.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ BUTTERFLY
+
+
+ Butterfly, butterfly,
+ Sit on my chin,
+ Your wings are like tinsel,
+ So yellow and thin.
+
+ Butterfly, butterfly,
+ Give me a kiss;
+ If you give me a dozen
+ There's nothing amiss.
+
+ Butterfly, butterfly,
+ Off to the flowers,--
+ Wee, soulless sprite
+ Of the long summer hours.
+
+
+
+
+ BEELA BY THE SEA
+
+
+ Catch a floater, catch an eel,
+ Catch a lazy whale,
+ Catch an oyster by the heel
+ And put him in a pail.
+
+ There's lots of work for Uncle Ike,
+ Fatty Ford and me
+ All day long and half the night
+ At Beela by the sea.
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+ A MATTER OF TASTE
+
+
+ "Thank you, dear," said the big black ant,
+ "I'd like to go home with you now, but I can't.
+ I have to hurry and milk my cows--
+ The aphid herds on the aster boughs."
+ And the ladybug said: "No doubt it's fine,
+ This milk you get from your curious kine,
+ But you know quite well it's my belief
+ Your cows are best when turned to beef."
+
+
+
+
+ TOMMY, MY SON
+
+
+ "Tommy, my son," said the old tabby cat,
+ "Go catch us some mice, and be sure that they're fat.
+ There's one family lives in the carpenter's barn;
+ They've made them a nest of the old lady's yarn.
+ But the carpenter has a young cat of his own
+ That is healthy and proud and almost full grown,
+ And consider it, son, an eternal disgrace
+ To come home at night with a scratch on your face."
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+ OH, SAID THE WORM
+
+
+ "Oh," said the worm,
+ "I'm awfully tired of sitting in the trees;
+ I want to be a butterfly
+ And chase the bumblebees."
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ BUZZY BROWN
+
+
+ Buzzy Brown came home from town
+ As crazy as a loon,
+ He wore a purple overcoat
+ And sang a Sunday tune.
+
+ Buzzy Brown came home from town
+ As proud as he could be,
+ He found three doughnuts and a bun
+ A-growing on a tree.
+
+
+
+
+ THE WIND
+
+
+ The wind came a-whooping, down Cranberry Hill
+ And stole an umbrella from, Mother Medill.
+
+ It picked up a paper on Patterson's place
+ And carried it clean to the Rockaby Race.
+
+ And what was more shocking and awful than that,
+ It blew the new feather off grandmother's hat.
+
+ [Illustration: THE WIND CAME A-WHOOPING DOWN CRANBERRY HILL]
+
+
+
+
+ THE HOBO BAND
+
+
+ The roads are good and the weather's grand,
+ So I'm off to play in the Hobo Band;
+ With a gaspipe flute and a cowhide drum
+ I'm going to make the music come.
+ With a toot, toot, toot, and a dum, dum, dum,
+ Just hear me make the music come!
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ A BEETLE ON A BROOMSTRAW
+
+
+ A robin and a wren, as they walked along one night,
+ Saw a big brown beetle on a broomstraw.
+ Said the robin to the wren: "What a pretty, pretty sight--
+ That big brown beetle on a broomstraw!"
+ So they got their plates and knives,
+ Their children and their wives,
+ And gobbled up the beetle on the broomstraw.
+
+
+
+
+ MULE THOUGHTS
+
+
+ A silly little mule
+ Sat on a milking stool
+ And tried to write a letter to his father.
+ But he couldn't find the ink,
+ So he said: "I rather think
+ This writing letters home is too much bother."
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ A CANDLE, A CANDLE
+
+
+ A candle, a candle
+ To light me to bed;
+ A pillow, a pillow
+ To tuck up my head.
+ The moon is as sleepy as sleepy can be,
+ The stars are all pointing their fingers at me,
+ And Missus Hop-Robin, way up in her nest,
+ Is rocking her tired little babies to rest.
+ So give me a blanket
+ To tuck up my toes,
+ And a little soft pillow
+ To snuggle my nose.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ BAXTER
+
+
+ Baxter had a billy-goat
+ Wall-eyed and double jointed.
+ He took him to the barber shop
+ And had his head anointed.
+
+
+
+
+ LODDY, GIN, AND ELLA ZANDER
+
+
+ Loddy, Gin, and Ella Zander
+ Rode to market on a gander;
+ Bought a crane for half a dollar;
+ Loddy led him by the collar.
+
+ Mister Crane said: "Hi there, master,
+ Can't you make your legs work faster?
+ We can't poke along this way."
+ Then he slowly flew away.
+ Loddy held him fast, you bet,
+ And he hasn't come home yet.
+
+
+
+
+ AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE HILL
+
+
+ As I was going down the hill
+ In front of Missus Knapp's
+ I saw the little Knapperines
+ All in their winter wraps--
+ Purple mitts and mufflers
+ And knitted jersey caps.
+
+ As I was coming back again
+ In front of Missus Knapp's
+ I saw that awful lady
+ Give about a dozen slaps
+ To every little Knapperine--
+ I thought it was, perhaps,
+ Because they gathered stickers
+ In their knitted jersey caps.

+ A LITTLE BOY RAN TO THE END OF THE SKY
+
+
+ A little boy ran to the end of the sky
+ With a rag and a pole and a gooseberry pie.
+ He cried: "Three cheers for the Fourth of July!"
+ With a rag and a pole and a gooseberry pie.
+
+ He saw three little donkeys at play,
+ He tickled their noses to make them bray,
+ And he didn't come back until Christmas Day--
+ With a rag and a pole and a gooseberry pie.
+
+
+
+
+ DISCRETION
+
+
+ A man with a nickel,
+ A sword, and a sickle,
+ A pipe, and a paper of pins
+ Set out for the Niger
+ To capture a tiger--
+ And that's how my story begins.
+
+ When he saw the wide ocean,
+ He soon took a notion
+ 'T would be nicer to stay with his friends.
+ So he traded his hat
+ For a tortoise-shell cat--
+ And that's how the chronicle ends.

+ A BEETLE ONCE SAT ON A BARBERRY TWIG
+
+
+ A beetle once sat on a barberry twig,
+ And turned at the crank of a thingum-a-jig.
+ Needles for hornets, nippers for ants,
+ For the bumblebee baby a new pair of pants,
+ For the grizzled old gopher a hat and a wig,
+ The beetle ground out of his thingum-a-jig.

+ THE ARMY OF THE QUEEN
+
+
+ O the Army of the Queen,
+ The Army of the Queen,
+ Some are dressed in turkey-red
+ And some are dressed in green;
+ A colonel and a captain,
+ A corporal in between,
+ Their guns are filled with powder
+ And their swords are bright and keen;
+ So toot your little trumpet
+ For the Army of the Queen.

+ THE HERO
+
+
+ My dad was a soldier and fought in the wars,
+ My grandfather fought on the sea,
+ And the tales of their daring and valor of course
+ Put the sand and the ginger in me.
+
+ I'm not scared of tigers or any wild beast,
+ I could fight with a lion all right,
+ I wouldn't be 'fraid of a bear in the least--
+ Excepting, perhaps, in the night.
+
+ But sister, she's skeery as skeery can be,
+ She's even afraid of the bark of a tree.

+
+ PENSIVE PERCY
+
+
+ Percy when a little boy
+ Was quiet as a mouse,
+ He never set the barn afire
+ Nor battered down the house.
+
+ He used to sit for hours and hours
+ Just gazing at the moon,
+ And feeding little fishes
+ Sarsaparilla from a spoon.

+
+
+ Moon, O Moon in the empty sky,
+ Why do you swing so low?
+ Pretty moon with the silver ring
+ And the long bright beams where the fairies cling,
+ Where do you always go?
+
+ I go to the land of the Siamese,
+ Ceylon and the Great Plateau,
+ Over the seas where Sinbad sailed,
+ Where Moses crossed and Pharaoh failed,--
+ There's where I always go.

+ Tell us what you've got there in your sack."
+
+ "Oh--it's full of rimes and riddles,
+ Jingles, jokes, and hi-de-diddles--
+ This bundle that I carry on my back."
+
+ "O tell us, funny rag-man,
+ Grinny, skinny rag-man,
+ Where did you pick up your funny rimes?"
+
+ "Some were dancing with corn-flowers,
+ Some were hiding in church-towers,
+ And sprinkled helter-skelter by the chimes."
+
+ "Rag-man, rag-man,
+ Nice old taggy rag-man,
+ Sing us just one jingle, tingle song."
+
+ "Why, my dears, I've got a plenty,
+ Sing you one? I'll sing you twenty--

+ Jelly Jake and Butter Bill
+ One dark night when all was still
+ Pattered down the long, dark stair,
+ And no one saw the guilty pair;
+ Pushed aside the pantry-door
+ And there found everything galore,--
+ Honey, raisins, orange-peel,
+ Cold chicken aplenty for a meal,
+ Gingerbread enough to fill
+ Two such boys as Jake and Bill.
+ Well, they ate and ate and ate,
+ Gobbled at an awful rate
+ Till I'm sure they soon weighed more
+ Than double what they did before.
+ And then, it's awful, still it's true,
+ The floor gave way and they went thru.
+ Filled so full they couldn't fight.
+ Slowly they sank out of sight.
+ Father, Mother, Cousin Ann,
+ Cook and nurse and furnace man
+ Fished in forty-dozen ways
+ After them, for twenty days;
+ But not a soul has chanced to get
+ A glimpse or glimmer of them yet.
+ And I'm afraid we never will--

+ And he dreamed he were king of the whole garden plot,
+ With a palace and throne, and a crown with a lot
+ Of jewels and diamonds and gold till it shone
+ Like the front of a show when the lights are turned on.
+ He had to be minded by all of the plants;
+ When he whistled the radishes knew they must dance;
+ When he tooted his horn the cucumbers must sing
+ To a vegetable crowd gathered round in a ring.
+ He made all the cabbages stand in a row
+ While a sunflower instructed them just how to grow;
+ The bright yellow pumpkins he painted light blue;
+ Took the clothes off the scare-crow and made him buy new.
+ He strutted and sputtered and thought it was grand
+ To be king and commander o'er all the wide land.
+ But at last he woke up with an awful surprise
+ And found a blind mole kicking sand in his eyes.

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
