“Where are you going, my pretty maid?”

“I am going a-shimmying, sir,” she said.

“And may I go with you my pretty maid?”

“If it so please you, sir,” she said.

“May I kiss you, my pretty maid?”

“What is your income, sir?” she said.

“Sunday morning, my pretty maid.”

“Kid somebody else, sir,” she said.

Dickory, dickory dock,

A mouse ran up the clock;

But this clock, I find,

Was a different kind,

And her cries could be heard up the block.

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet,

Sharing her good curds and whey;

They were hugging and kissing,

When her Ma found her missing

And frightened fond lover away.
