'I THINK I want some pies this morning '	A
Said Dick stretching himself and yawning	B
So down he threw his slate and books	C
And saunter'd to the pastry cook's	C
	-
And there he cast his greedy eyes	D
Round on the jellies and the pies	D
So to select with anxious care	E
The very nicest that was there	E
	-
At last the point was thus decided	F
As his opinion was divided	G
'Twixt pie and jelly being loth	H
Either to leave he took them both	I
	-
Now Richard never could be pleased	J
To stop when hunger was appeased	J
But would go on to eat still more	K
When he had had an ample store	K
	-
'No not another now ' said Dick	L
'Dear me I feel extremely sick	L
I cannot even eat this bit	M
I wish I had not tasted it '	-
	-
Then slowing rising from his seat	N
He threw his cheesecake in the street	N
And left the tempting pastry cook's	C
With very discontented looks	C
	-
Just then a man with wooden leg	O
Met Dick and held his hat to beg	O
And while he told his mournful case	P
Look'd at him with imploring face	P
	-
Dick wishing to relieve his pain	Q
His pockets search'd but search'd in vain	Q
And so at last he did declare	E
He had not left a farthing there	E
	-
The beggar turn'd with face of grief	R
And look of patient unbelief	R
While Richard now his folly blamed	S
And felt both sorry and ashamed	S
	-
'I wish ' said he but wishing's vain	Q
'I had my money back again	T
And had not spent my last to pay	U
For what I only threw away	U
	-
'Another time I'll take advice	V
And not buy things because they're nice	V
But rather save my little store	K
To give to those who want it more '	-
