A MAD TEA-PARTY

 YET YOU BALANCE AN EEL ON THE END OF YOUR NOSE

You are old, Father Williams

 

Twinkle, twinkle, little Bat

Pig and Pepper

SPEAK ROUGHLY TO YOUR LITTLE BOY

AND BEAT HIM WHEN HE SNEEZES

The Lobster Quadrille

THE LOBSTER QUADRILLE 

"WILL YOU WALK A LITTLE FASTER?" SAID A WHITING TO A SNAIL

'Tis the Voice of the Lobster

Beautiful Soup

BEAUTIFUL SOUP, SO RICH AND GREEN,

WAITING IN A HOT TUREEN

The Queen of Hearts

Who stole the Tarts

Jabberwocky

HE TOOK HIS VORPAL SWORD IN HIS HAND:

LONG TIME THE MANXOME FOE HE SOUGHT -

...THE JABBERWOCK, WITH EYES OF FLAME,

CAME WHIFFLING THROUGH THE TULGEY WOOD,

AND BURBLED AS IT CAME.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee

The Walrus and the Carpenter 

THE WALRUS AND THE CARPENTER

WERE WALKING CLOSE AT HAND,

THEY WEPT LIKE ANYTHING TO SEE

SUCH QUANTITIES OF SAND:

"IF THIS WERE ONLY BE CLEARED AWAY",

THEY SAID, "IT WOULD BE GRAND¨!"

HUMPTY DUMPTY

The Message to the Fish

The Lion and the Unicorn

The Aged, Aged Man

HE SAID: "I LOOK FOR BUTTERFLIES

THAT SLEEP AMONG THE WHEAT:

I MAKE THEM INTO MUTTON PIES,

AND SELL THEM IN THE STREET.

Queen Alice

THEN FILL UP THE GLASSES AS QUICK AS YOU CAN,

AND SPRINKLE THE TABLES WITH BUTTONS AND BRAN:

PUT CATS IN THE COFFEE, AND MICE IN THE TEA

AND WELCOME QUEEN ALICE WITH THIRTY- TIMES- THREE!

The Fish Riddle

UNDISCOVER THE FISH, OR DISCOVER THE RIDDLE!

Hush-a-by, Lady
