Invitation
Come for a ride on the wheel-barrow, There's room if you hop on behind, It might be a little bit cramped, but it's fun, And Pussy and Felix won't mind I It's quite an adventure when Daddy forgets We're there, and he goes a bit fast, And bumpity-bump on the gravel We go. And oh, how I wish it would last I Come for a ride on the wheel-barrow. There isn't a penny to pay, And you'll be surprised to find just how far, IVe journey along in a day I The Wool-shed's a castle, the clothes prop's a lance, The plum tree's a princess in white. And 1 am chief lady-in-waiting to her. And Felix, her most gallant knight 1
Come for a ride on the wheel-barrow. And Watch Felix joust on the green, His steed prances ■ madly—the princess grows pale— It's really the best fight I'tie seen! It seems such a pity when We have to go Inside, and we're sent off to sleep, And there's no more wheel-barrows—Pussy, look, out I You've landed us all in a heap I —Joan Pain.
