THE CAPTIVE
Tom might have run faster than you. He might have gone farther a lot, But when he was lacing’ his shoe A fairy was caught in the knot. He tugged and he tugged, but in vain. It only got tighter and worse. It wouldn't come open again, And so he called loudly for nurse. And when the poor fairy was free, She sighed as she fluttered away: “For making a captive of me * You’ll lose all your races todaj r .” So children, from this you will know It’s wiser and safer a lot To fasten your lace with a bow Instead of a troublesome knot!
