RICHARD AND ROBERT
• » • Oh, Richard and Robert Were two jolly men, They lay in bed Till the clock struck ten-. Then up jumps Richard And looks at the sky, And cries, “Brother Robert, The sun is quite high. “The sheep in the garden Are picking the peas, The cow in the cellar is making the cheese. “The bull in the cornfield Is thrashing out corn, The cock on the gatepost Is blowing his horn. “The frog in the kitchen Is frying the fish, The cat in the dairy Is licking the dish. “The goat in the pantry Is skimming the milk. The mouse in the parlour ■ Is dressed up in silk. “The horse in the meadow Is mowing the hay, The ducks in the mill pond Arc swimming away.”
