Then Marjorie stood on a leathern chair,
And opened the window to the air.
The bats flap, the owls hoot--
Marjorie lifted the giant’s boot!
The ravens shriek, the owls hoot--
Marjorie got into the giant’s boot!
And Marjorie said, “I can reach the moon
Before you waken, you big buffoon!”
Once, twice, three times, and away,--
“Which is the road to Banbury, pray?”
The Boot made answer, “Hah, hah! hoh, hoh!
The road to Banbury town I know.”
