As many red herrings as grew in the wood.

She liv'd upon nothing—but victuals and drink:
Victuals and drink were the chief of her diet,

As I was going to sell my eggs,
I met a thief with bandy legs,
Bandy legs and crooked toes,

Lazy Tom with jacket blue,
Stole his father's gouty shoe.
The worst of harm that dad can wish him,
Is his gouty shoe may fit him.

Pie-crust and pastry-crust, that was the wall;
The windows were made of black-puddings and white,
And slated with pancakes—you ne'er saw the like.

Sit by the fire and spin;

I spilt my milk, and I spoilt my clothes,
And got a long icicle hung to my nose.
