Subject(s): Children; Play; Childhood
Ring-a-ring of little boys,
Ring-a-ring of girls;
All around --all around,
Twists and twirls.
You are merry children.
"Yes, we are."
Where do you come from?
"Not very far.
"We live in the mountain,
We live in the tree;
And I live in the river bed
And you won't catch me!
