Young Canada's Nursery Rhymes

 There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile,

  He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile:

  He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,

  And they all lived together in a little crooked house.

  Curly locks, curly locks, wilt thou be mine?

  Thou shalt not wash dishes, nor yet feed the swine;

  But sit on a cushion, and sew a fine seam,

  And feed upon strawberries, sugar, and cream.
