NE Oiriitm»8 time when old Mother Hubbard— She of the Ur famed empty cupboard— Sat bf her evening fire alone, f - Wishing-she had for her dog • boneT There came a knocking upon the door. And as she hastened across the floor It flew wide open, to her surprise. And, oh. die vision that met her eyes! It nearly took away her breath And frightened her almost half to death. There were people here; there were people there; There were people yonder and everywhere. All were screaming. “Dear Mr*. Hubbard, Were brought you something to fill your cupboard!" Fust came lovely Cinderella, With her prince, a handsome fellow; Mother Goose and Simple Simon; In their wake die Penny Pieman; Bluebeard, savage and defiant; Jack, who often lolled a giant; Puss in Boots, to trim and nice. Followed by die three blind mice; Thai the little naughty kittens, All in pretty scarlet mittens; Sweet Bo peep and Little Boy Blue, Red Riding Hood and the bad wolf, too; Jack, whose bean stalk ran so high. And the jJd woman who swept the •ky; Jack Homer, with his face aglow; The frog who did a-wooing go; Dame Trot and aD the endless crew That lived together in « shoe, And many another known to fame Had I but room to give.
