I saw eight magpies in a tree,
Two for you and six for me:
One for sorrow, two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, four for a birth:
Five for England, six for France,
Seven for a fiddler, eight for a dance.

I went fishing
Took some bait.
Didn’t go early,
Didn’t go late.

Caught eight fishes
To put in my pail.
Seven were mackerel,
But the eighth was a whale.

The seven were easy
To put into the tin,
But that whale caused me trouble
Before I packed him in!

Took my catch home.
What did mother say?
‘Get those eight fish out of here –
We’re having steak today!’

Anon.

Misty-moisty was the morn,
Chilly was the weather;
There I met an old man
Dressed all in leather.
Dressed all in leather
Against the wind and rain,
With ‘how do you do?’ and ‘how do you do?’
And ‘how do you do?’ again.
