<h3><SPAN name="tops" id="tops"></SPAN>CROWN THE KING WITH CARROT TOPS</h3>
<p class="block14 b4">Crown the king with carrot tops,<br/>
Dress him in sateen,<br/>
Give him lots of licorice drops,<br/>
With suckers in between.<br/>
<br/>
For he’s a king with lots of power<br/>
And awful, awful fierce,<br/>
He kills a pirate every hour<br/>
And washes in his tears.<br/>
<br/>
He rides a charger ten feet high,<br/>
A dashing, dappled gray;<br/>
Has ginger pop and lemon pie<br/>
For breakfast every day.<br/>
<br/>
So get a royal canopy,<br/>
The finest ever seen,<br/>
And whiskers for his majesty,<br/>
And tresses for the queen.</p>
<h3><SPAN name="goose" id="goose"></SPAN>THE CANADA GOOSE</h3>
<p class="block14 b4">A Canada goose<br/>
On the South Palouse<br/>
Is singing her summer song.<br/>
Her words are wise,<br/>
And she greets the skies<br/>
With a voice like a steamer gong:<br/>
“If you harbor your wealth<br/>
And keep your health,<br/>
You’ll always be rich and strong.”</p>

<p class="block19 b4">Hipperty, clickerty, clackerty, bang,<br/>
Get in a corner as fast as you can!<br/>
The sideboard is tipsy, the table is mad,<br/>
The chairs have lost all the sense that they had.<br/>
So hipperty, clickerty, clackerty, bang,<br/>
Get in a corner as fast as you can!</p>

<h3><SPAN name="sonny" id="sonny"></SPAN>SONNY</h3>
<p class="block18 nob">A sailor gave his sonny<br/>
Nearly half a pint of money<br/>
And sent him out to buy a ton of coal;<br/>
But he met a poor old miser<br/>
Who told him it were wiser<br/>
To bury all his money in a hole.<br/>
<br/>
A sailor gave his sonny<br/>
Nearly half a pint of money<br/>
And told him he should buy a suit of clothes;<br/>
But he saw a pretty maiden<br/>
With all kinds of posies laden,<br/>
And he gave her all his money for a rose.<br/>
<br/>
Then the sailor gave his sonny<br/>
Nearly half a pint of money<br/>
To buy a little garden and a house;<br/>
But he found him the next day,<br/>
In a shop on Yesler Way,<br/>
A-buying cheese and crackers for a mouse.</p>

<h3><SPAN name="stove" id="stove"></SPAN>THE STOVE</h3>
<p class="block21 b4">A stove is a thing that gets awfully hot,<br/>
And fries up your meat, or whatever you’ve got.<br/>
It’s made out of iron and hinges and screws,<br/>
And filled up with shakers, and dampers, and flues.<br/>
It’s not very long and it’s not very wide;<br/>
It’s got black’ning on top and ashes inside.</p>

<h3><SPAN name="baby" id="baby"></SPAN>THE THUNDER BABY</h3>
<p class="block17 nob">Have you heard of the Thunder Baby<br/>
Way up in the big blue sky?<br/>
You’ve seen his cradle, maybe,<br/>
And maybe you’ve heard him cry.<br/>
<br/>
Most of the time he’s sleeping,<br/>
Rolled up in a big white cloud,<br/>
But when he’s awake and hungry<br/>
He bellows awfully loud.<br/>
<br/>
And when he’s crying, sometimes<br/>
You can hear his teardrops fall<br/>
With a patter, patter, patter,<br/>
Against the garden wall.<br/>
<br/>
But when he’s madder’n mischief,<br/>
He rolls, and growls, and spits,<br/>
And kicks the clouds all forty ways,<br/>
And gives the weather fits.<br/>
<br/>
Then tears come down in bucketfuls,<br/>
And children dance for joy,<br/>
Till the sun comes out and soundly spanks<br/>
Her Thunder Baby Boy.</p>
