And if all the trees were one tree, What a _great_ tree that would be!
And if all the axes were one axe, What a _great_ axe that would be!
And if all the men were one man, What a _great_ man he would be!
And if the _great_ man took the _great_ axe, And cut down the _great_ tree, And let it fall into the _great_ sea, What a splish splash _that_ would be!

Old clothes to sell! Old clothes to sell!"
I never would cry, "Old clothes to sell!"

I had a little hobby horse, His name was Tommy Gray, His head was made of pease straw, His body made of hay; I saddled him and bridled him, And rode him up to town, There came a little puff of wind And blew him up and down.

I have a little sister, they call her peep, peep; She wades the waters deep, deep, deep; She climbs the mountains high, high, high; Poor little creature, she has but one eye.
(_A star._)
