My father and mother
This old nursery rhyme is called “My father and mother” — enjoy your reading!
“My father and mother,
My uncle and aunt,
Be all gone to Norton,
But little Jack and I.
A little bit of powdered beef,
And a great net of cabbage,
The best meal I have had to-day,
Is a good bowl of porridge.”
