Where are you going, Solomon Grundy
My little kittens? Born on Monday,
We are going to town Christened on Tuesday,
To get up some mittens. Married on Wednesday,
What! Mittens for kittens? Took ill on Thursday,
Do kittens wear mittens? Worse on Friday,
Who ever saw little kittens Died on Saturday,
With mittens? Buried on Sunday.
This is the end of
Solomon Grundy.

Learn one of them by heart.
Little head, little wit. A dimple in your chin –
Big head, not a bit. Many hearts you will win.
A dimple in your chin – A mole on your lip –
You have a devil within. You are a little too flip.
