    The wren, the wren they king of all birds.
    On Saint Stephen day she was caught in the furze.
    Although being small her family is great.
    Rise up land lady and give me a treat
    Up with the kettle and down with the pan
    give me an answer and let me begone.
    Margaret T. Shea
    Baa, Baa, black sheep have you any wool,
    Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.
    One for the master and one for the dame and one
    for the little girl that lives down our lane.
    Margaret T. Shea
