Rhymes For The Times

Ring around the rosies
Goodbye to leaves and posies
Husha-husha-they all fall down

Rock-a-bye-baby in the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock

When the bough breaks
Boughs and cradle will fall
And down will come leaves-
Summer-cradle and all

Little Bo-Peep has lost summer and sheep
And doesn't know just where to find them
'Though you leave them alone
Only sheep will come home
Leaving all summer's beauty behind them

A tisket-a-tasket autumn leaves fill my basket
And all the King's horses-and all the King's men
And all of the glue that you ever knew
Could not put them back up there again!
