A NEW NURSERY RHYME
If tlie old woman who lived in a ehoe Had lived in a cottage instead, Her children could have played at hide-and-seek And needn't have been sent to bed. If Little 80-Peep hadn't lost her sheep She wouldn't have had t6 find them. If Little Boy Blue had not any sheep He wouldn't have had to mind them. If the goose that laid the golden eggs Had wot been killed that day, She'd stj}l be laying golden eggs As hard as she could lay. In fact, if we could manage things How different they would be! But as we can't we'll let them stay •lust as they are, yen see!
