- I heard the following rhymes from my mother at home.
Patience is a virtue,
Have it if you can,
Seldom in a woman
But never in a man.Christmas is coming,
The geese are getting fat.
Please put a penny in the old man's hat.
If you have not a penny
A half penny will do,
If you have not ha half penny
God bless you.Cry baby cry
stick your finger
in your eye
Go home and tell your mammie
T'was I, I, I.- Collector
