MUD PIES.

Tell me, little housewives,
Playing in the sun,
How many minutes
Till the cooking's done?
Johnny builds the oven,
Jenny rolls the crust.
Katie buys the flour,
All of golden dust.
Pat it here. and pat it there;
What dainty size!
Bake it on shingle-
Nice mud pies!
Don't you hear the bluebird
High up in the ar?
"Good morning. little ones,
Are you busy there?
Pretty Master Squirrel
Bounces down the rail:
Takes seat and watches,
Curls his bushy tail.
Twirl it so. and mark it so
docking wondrous wise);
All the plums are pebbles
Rich mud piesi
Arms that never weary,
Toiling dimple deep;
Shut the oven door now,
And soon we'll take peep.
Wish we had shower
Think we need it SO;
That would make the roadside
Such heap of dough!
Turn them in. and turn them out;
How the morning flies;
Ring the bell for dinner
Hot mud pies!
