The Horner Brothers

BY Elizabeth Raymond Woodward
Jack Horner had three brothers,
Their names were Horner, too--
One was James, and one was George,
And the little one was Hugh.
And they always did exactly
What they saw Jackie do--
James and George and the littlest one,
The one whose name was Hugh.
So when Jack's Christma
pie was made,
They made three others, too--
One for James, and one for George,
And a little one for Hugh.
And they sat up in corners,
As they'd seen Jackie do--
James and George and the littlest one,
The one whose name was Hugh.
I'm sure 't was very lucky
(Does it not seem so to you?)
That the room had just four corners
For Jack James George and Hugh
For if Jackie had a corner,
There must be corners, too,
For James and George and the littlest one,
The one whose name was Hugh.

A little old man
with a shiny bald head
Was told by his wife
they were all out of bread.
He puckered his lips
and replied with a frown,
"Then bring me some toast
that is crusty and brown."
