Classic Poem

Still simpler is “C ARRY MY Lady TO L ONDON .” In this game two children cross hands, grasping each other's wrists and their own as well—thus forming a seat, on which a third child can be carried. When hoisted and in order, the bearers step out singing:—
Gie me a needle to stick i' my thoom
 To carry my lady to London;
London Bridge is broken down,
 And I must let my lady down. Each child is thus carried in turn.
