And liked to nibble something nice),

Little Jack
He wore a pair of tattered pants
A ragged roustabout
And through the torn crown of his cap
A lock of hair stuck out
His home was in a friendless street
His name was Little Jack
One day a bouncing baby boy
With head of curly hair
Escaped his mothers loving arms
Who, tired with other cares
Forgot her little baby one
Who crept upon the railway track
To play with the bright pebbles there
But see! Around the bend there comes
A swiftly flying train
It rattles and it whistles and it shreiks with might and main
But who's this little figure?
Running down the track...
His hat is gone
His feet are bare
Its ragged Little Jack
He picked the child up in his arms
And from the tracks the babe was safely tossed
But a slip, and a cry, the train rolled by
Poor Little Jack is gone
They found his mangled body there
Just where he slipped and fell
And brave men wept
Who'd never cared for him, when he was well
If there be starry crowns in Heaven
For little ones to wear
The star on Little Jacks would be
The brightest of any there.

The Hedgehog
What’s this round and prickly thing?
Can it be a pincushion?
No! Pincushions never grow
In the fields where daisies blow.
Oh! and now I see a nose
With four little tiny toes.
And as it opens in the sun
How those black beetles cut and run!
But see, it hears a barking dog
And rolls up safe, that poor hedgehog.

Right in the middle of the red, white and blue.
Catch a tiger by his toe.
If he hollers, make him pay
Fifty dollars every day.
My Mother says to pick this one;
O-U-T spells out goes you,
Right in the middle of the red, white and blue.
One for sorrow, two for mirth
(taken from The Folklore of Birds, by Laura C. Martin, 1993)
One for sorrow, two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, four for a birth,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret not to be told.
Eight for heaven, nine for hell,
And ten for the devil's own sel'.
One for sorrow, two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, four for a birth,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret not to be told.

And ten for the devil's own sel'.
Five Rosy Apples
Five rosy apples by the cottage door,
One tumbled off a twig and then there were four.
Four rosy apples by the cottage door,
The farmer’s wife took one and then there were three.
Three rosy apples by the cottage door,
I think I’ll have one and then there’ll be two.
Two rosy apples hanging in the sun,
You have the big one and that will leave one.
One rosy apple, soon it is gone.
The wind blew it off the branch and now there are none.
One tumbled off a twig and then there were four.

Five Little Speckled Frogs
Five little speckled frogs
Sat on speckled log
Catching the most delicious bugs – yum, yum
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Then there were four green speckled frogs,

Why did you let him go?
Because he bit my finger so.
Which finger did he bite?
This little finger on my right.

Five Little Mice (fingers or toes)
This little mousie peeped within
This little mousie walked right in!
This little mousie came to play,
This little mousie ran away!
This little mousie cried, “Dear me!”
Dinner is done and it’s time for tea!”
