Who jumped at a cork,
And learned to eat mice
Without plate, knife, or fork.

Who sings us a song,
And wakes us betimes
Lest we sleep too long.

Who turned in her toes,
And hung down her head
Till her knees touched her nose.

Who looks wondrously wise ;
But he’s watching a mouse
With his large round eyes.
