I never did, I never did,
I never did like "Now take care, dear!"

I never did want "Hold-my-hand"; ... - Wind On The Hill

Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes. ... - The Dormouse And The Doctor

Of geraniums (red) and delphiniums (blue). ... - Pinkle Purr

A little black nothing of feet and fur;
And by-and-by, when his eyes came through,
He saw his mother, the big Tattoo. ... - At The Zoo
There are lions and roaring tigers,
and enormous camels and things,
There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons,
and a great big bear with wings. ...
