Glossary

Appley Dapply’s Nursery Rhymes



  ( 1917 )

Appley Dapply,

a little brown mouse,

Goes to the cupboard

in somebody’s house.

In somebody’s cupboard

There’s everything nice,

Cake, cheese, jam, biscuits,

—All charming for mice!

Appley Dapply

has little sharp eyes.

And Appley Dapply

is so fond of pies!



Now who is this knocking

at Cottontail’s door?

Tap tappit! Tap tappit!

She’s heard it before?

And when she peeps out

there is nobodv there,

But a present of carrots

put down on the stair.

Hark! I hear it again!

Tap, tap, tappit! Tap tappit!

Why — I really believe

it’s a little black rabbit



Old Mr. Pricklepin

has never a cushion

to stick his pins in,

His nose is black and his

beard is gray,

And he lives in an ash stump

over the way.



You know the old woman

who lived in a shoe?

And had so many children

She didn’t know what to do?

I think if she lived in

a little shoe-house—

That little old woman

was surely a mouse!



Diggory Diggory Delvet!

A little old man in black velvet;

He digs and he delves—

You can see for yourselves

The mounds dug by Diggory Delvet.



Gravy and potatoes

in a good brown pot—

Put them in the oven,

and serve them verv hot!



There once was an amiable

guinea-pig,

Who brushed back his hair like

a periwig—

He wore a sweet tie,

As blue as the sky—

And his whiskers and buttons

Were very big.

Cecily Parsley’s Nursery Rhymes



  ( 1922 )

Cecily Parsley

lived in a pen,

And brewed good ale

for gentlemen;

Gentlemen

came every day,

Till Cecily Parsley

ran away.



Goosey, goosey, gander,

Whither will you wander?

Upstairs and downstairs,

And in my lady’s chamber!



This pig went to market;

This pig stayed at home;
