Nursery Rhyme
Peter Simon Suckegg,
Traded his wife for a duck egg
The duck egg was rotten
So he traded for cotton
The cotton was yellow,
So he traded for tallow,
The tallow was soft,
So he traded for a calf.
The calf was too little,
So he traded for a kettle.
The kettle was black,
So he traded for a jack.
The jack wouldn't bray,
So he traded for a sleigh.
The sleigh wouldn't scoot,
So he traded for a boot.
The boot was too big.
So he traded for a pig.
The pig wouldn't squeal,
So he traded for a wheel.
The wheel wouldn't turn,
So he traded for a churn,
The churn wouldn't flicker,
So he traded it for licker.
The licker was stale,
So they put him in jail.
