Humpty Dumpty

---

Humpty Dumpty  sat on a wall. 
Humpty Dumpty  had a great fall. 
All the king's  horses, 
And all the king's  men, 
Couldn't put Humpty  together again.




 JACK AND JILL 

---

Jack  and Jill  went up the hill, 
To fetch a pail  of water. 
Jack  fell down, 
And broke his crown; 
And Jill  came tumbling after.

---

Then up  Jack  got, and home  did trot,
as fast as he  could caper.
They put him  to bed, 

and plastered his head, 
with vinegar  and brown paper.
