J. Poems
⑴ There was an old woman, And nothing she had.
And so this old woman, Was said to be mad.
She’d nothing to eat, She’d nothing to wear,
She’d nothing to lose, She’d nothing to fear,
She’d nothing to ask, And nothing to leave,
And when she did die, Nobody grieved.

K. Jingles
⑴ When the wind is in the East,
It’s good for neither man nor beast;
When the wind is in the North,
The skilful fisher goes not forth;
When the wind is in the South,
It blows the bait in the fisher’s mouth;
When the wind is in the West,
Then it is at its very best.
⑵ He that would thrive,
Must rise at five.
He that has thriven,
May lie till seven.
And he that by the plough would thrive,
Himself must either hold or drive.
