Jack Sprat could eat no fat; His wife could eat no lean;So twixt them both they cleared the cloth, And lickd the platter clean. There was a little boy went into a barn,And lay down on some hay; A calf came out and smelt about,And the little boy ran away. 81 … The sow came in with the saddle,The little pig rockd the cradle,The dish jumpd up on the tableTo see the pot swallow the ladle.The spit that stood behind the doorThrew the pudding-stick on the floor.Odsplut! said the gridiron, Cant you agree ?Im the head constable,Bring them to me.
