MEXICAN NURSERY SONG: 18, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "this old lady, hippity-hop" Last Line: "and she ran home, quickity-quick" | |||
This old lady, Hippity-hop, Cut this piece of wood, flippity-flop. She cut another, She cut another, She cut another, She cut another, chippity-chop. She gathered her wood, stick by stick, And built a fire, flickity-flick. A--black--cloud--grew. The wet--rain--blew, And she ran home, quickity-quick. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest..."'TIS MIDNIGHT, AND THE SETTING SUN" by ANONYMOUS "'TWAS ROLLOG, AND THE MINIM POTES" by ANONYMOUS 1648 : FOR COSSACKS by ANONYMOUS A CHERRY YEAR / A MERRY YEAR by ANONYMOUS A COMET FROM THE RHYMERS' CLUB AFAR by ANONYMOUS "A FOX, A FOX, UP GALLANTS TO THE FIELDS" by ANONYMOUS A HORSE AND A FLEA AND THREE BLIND MICE by ANONYMOUS "A LAIRD, A LORD / A COOPER, A THIEF" by ANONYMOUS A LITTLE COCK SPARROW SAT ON A GREEN TREE by ANONYMOUS |
