Before The Tales

Before Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall And before Humpty Dumpty had a great fall From all the king's horses All the king's men Had to pick up all the manure once again Before Little Jack Horner, sat in his corner Eating his Christmas pie And before he stuck in his thumb to pull out a plumb Jack's thing had got caught in his fly Before Little Miss Muffett sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey She captured the spider that sat down beside her When she pooped behind a bail of old hay Before Jack and Jill, ran up the hill To fetch a pail of water Jack wrote out his will "Cause Jill said- "I will" And she told him she was the king's daughter
