Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes (2 page)

Y
ou
know the old woman
who lived in a shoe?
And had so many children
she didn’t know what to do?
I think
if she lived
in a little shoe-house —
That little old woman
was surely a mouse!
D
iggory
Diggory
Delvet
!
A little old man in black velvet;
He digs and he delves —
You can see for yourselves
The mounds dug by Diggory Delvet.
G
ravy
and potatoes
In a good brown pot —
Put them in the oven,
And serve them very hot!
T
here
once was an amiable
guinea-pig,
Who brushed back his hair
like a periwig —
He
wore a sweet tie,
As blue as the sky —
And
his
whiskers and buttons
were very big.
