My Party

I'm giving a party to-morrow at three,
And these are the people I'm asking to tea.

I'm sure you will know them—they're old friends, not new;
Bo-peep and Jack Horner and Little Boy Blue.

And Little Miss Muffet, and Jack and his Jill
(Please don't mention spiders—nor having a spill).

And Little Red Riding-Hood—Goldilocks too
(When sitting beside them, don't talk of the Zoo).

And sweet Cinderella, and also her Prince
(They're married—and happy they've lived ever since!)

And Polly, and Sukey; who happily settle
On each side the hearth, to look after the kettle.

All these are the people I'm asking to tea;
So please come and meet them to-morrow at three.
