Nursery Rhyme :
A jolly old sow once lived in a sty,
And three little piggies had she;
And she waddled about saying, 'grumph! grumph! grumph!'
While the little ones said 'wee! wee!'
And she waddled about saying, 'grumph! grumph! grumph!'
While the little ones said 'wee! wee!'
'My dear little piggies,' said one of the brats,
'My dear little brothers,' said he,
'Let us all for the future say, 'grumph! grumph! grumph!'
'Tis so childish to say, 'wee! wee!''
Let us all, etc.
[Pg 137]These three little piggies grew skinny and lean,
And lean they might very well be,
For somehow they couldn't say 'grumph! grumph! grumph!'
And they wouldn't say 'wee! wee!'
For somehow, etc.
So after a time these little pigs died,
They all died of fe-lo-de-see,
From trying too hard to say 'grumph! grumph! grumph!'
When they only could say 'wee! wee!'
From trying, etc.
A moral there is to this little song,
A moral that's easy to see:
Don't try when you're young to say 'grumph! grumph! grumph!'
When you only can say 'wee! wee!'
Don't try when you're young to say 'grumph! grumph! grumph!'
When you only can say 'wee! wee!'
