Samuil Marshak's "English Folk Poetry"
Apr. 21st, 2002 11:19 amWhere have you been today, my kitty?
I met the Queen in London city.
What saw you at the royal palace?
Between the rugs I saw a mouse.
Twirly Swirly sat on the wall.
Twirly Swirly - down he fall!
All the king's horses
And all the king's nieces
Cannot pick up Twirly's,
Cannot pick up Swirly's,
Twirly Swirly's,
Swirly Twirly's,
Twirly Swirly's pieces!

And all the king's nieces
Cannot pick up Twirly's,
Cannot pick up Swirly's,
Twirly Swirly's,
Swirly Twirly's,
Twirly Swirly's pieces!
