SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 54, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: What does the donkey bray about
Last Line: What do the others say?
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


What does the donkey bray about?
What does the pig grunt through his snout?
What does the goose mean by a hiss?
Oh, Nurse, if you can tell me this,
I'll give you such a kiss.

The cockatoo calls "cockatoo,"
The magpie chatters "how d'ye do?"
The jackdaw bids me "go away,"
Cuckoo cries "cuckoo" half the day:
What do the others say?
