NURSERY RHYMES.
TnEUi: was a young lady of Bicester, One day that her lover had hissed her, She seemed quite perplexed. And to show she was vexed She gave such a slap to her sister. There was a young lady of Pinner, She said “How I wish I was thinner Said Mama, “ A good way To be that, I should say, Was to go for a week without dinuer. There was a young lady of Harrow, Who would go to church in a barrow, It stuck in the aisle And she said, with a smile, “They build those here churches too narrow.” There was a young lady of Stroud, Whose voice was so awfully loud, When she went for a walk They forbade her to talk, Por fear of attracting a crowd. There was a young lady of Oldham, And when she got presents, she sold ’em, When folks said “How mean!” She replied, “All serene,” And that was the whole that she told ’em. — Punch's Almanac, 1863.
