All the day you'll have good luck;

See a pin and let it lay,

Bad luck you'll have all the day.

A Man of Words

MAN of words and not of deeds

Is like a garden full of weeds;
And when the weeds begin to grow,
It's like a garden full of snow;
And when the snow begins to fall,
It's like a bird upon the wall;

And when the bird away does fly,
It's an eagle in the sky;

And when the sky begins to roar,
It's like a lion at the door;

And when the door begins to crack,
It's like a stick across your back;
And when your back begins to smart,
It's like a penknife in your heart;
And when your heart begins to bleed,
You're dead, and dead, and dead indeed.

Goosy Goosy Gander!

OOSY goosy gander!

Where shall I wander?

Upstairs and downstairs,

And in my lady's chamber; There I met an old man,

That would not say his prayers.

I took him by the left leg,

And threw him down stairs.

The king cannot reach it nor the queen;

Nor did old Noll whose power's so great.

Tell me this riddle while I count eight.'
