Poems
Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbird
Baked in a pie!

When the pie was opened
The bird began to sing;
Was not that a dainty dish
To set before the king?

The king was in his counting-house
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.

The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird
And snapped off her nose.
A CALENDER

January brings the snow,
Makes our feet and fingers glow.

February brings the rain,
Thaws the frozen lake again.

March brings the breezes, loud and shrill,
To stir the dancing daffodil

April brings the primrose sweet,
Scatters daisies at our feet.

May brings flocks if pretty lambs,
Skipping by their fleecy dams.

June brings the tulips, lilies, roses,
Fills the children's hands with posies.

Hot July brings the cooling showers,
Apricots and gillyflowers.

August brings the sheaves of corn,
Then the harvest home is borne.

Warm September brings the fruit;
Sportsmen then begin to shoot.

Fresh October brings the pheasant;
Then to gather nuts is pleasant.

Dull November brings the blast;
Then the leaves are whirling fast.

Chill December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire, and a Christmas treat.
