JtJLtle Bo'Peep, while
minding her sheep,
Fell fast asleep one
day.

She dreamed that ner crooK
was a magic wand

That would, all her •
wishes obey,

Deing able to do everything that she pleased, -
It's easy to understand

Why her very first act was to make herself
The most beautiful girl in the land.

IQjith a wave of her wand her every wish

Was immediately satisfied.
If she asked for some gowns of silver

and gold
They were instantly by her side.

Plus a handsome prince

find if you are wondering about her sheep,

Just put your mind^ at ease.
She changed them all into brave young knights

With a castle for each, if you please.

^he made the poor rich and the sick well again.

And banished all evil forever.
She changed all things that were troubling the world.

Why, she even changed the weather!

Q'hcre was Winter and Summer all

year round—
Of course this may sound very strange.
She divided the country so folks

could have snow
And then switch when they wanted

and dolls

And gifts from all

With plenty of time for

fun and play;
Each year had a nine months vacation.

Bo-Peep said her work
was done.

She wrapped up her wand

and put it away ■
And decided to have

some fun. .

friends. Jack and Jill,
Frolicked and played through

They chased each other
right up the hill
Which Jack had once
fallen down.

who fell;

She tumbled head

over heelsl '^
Faster and faster and
faster she rolled
With shrieks and cries
and squeals.

Let loose a piercing scream.

She woke herself right up to find
It all had been a

Whose mother was quite clean.
She polished pots in carload lots
And made the doorknobs gleam.

And, starting at his nose.
With elbow grease and soap

and brush
She scrubbed right to
his toes.

was sore.
