Till Cecily Parsley ran away.

2. Goosey Gander
Goosey, goosey, gander,
Whither will you wander?
Upstairs and downstairs,
And in my lady's chamber!
3. This pig went to the market
This pig went to market;
This pig stayed at home;
This pig had a bit of meat;
And this pig had none;
This little pig cried
Wee! wee! wee!
I can't find my way home.
4. Pussy-Cat
"How do you do, Mistress Pussy?
Mistress Pussy, how do you do?"
"I thank you kindly, little dog,
I fare as well as you!"
5. Three Blind Mice
Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run!
They all run after the farmer's wife,
And she cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life
As three blind mice!
6. Tom Tinker's dog
Bow, wow, wow!
Whose dog art thou?
"I'm little Tom Tinker's dog,
Bow, wow, wow!"
7. The Guinea-Pig's Garden
We have a little garden,
A garden of our own,
And every day we water there
The seeds that we have sown.
8. Ninny Nanny Netticoat
Ninny nanny netticoat,
In a white petticoat,
With a red nose,-
The longer she stands,
The shorter she grows.
