PIPER

Piper, piper, play me a tune

Of a summery sunshiny afternoon,

And the little brown bunnies will all come out

Frisking and jumping and bobbing about.

Piper, piper, play me a tune

Of a posy of stars and a little wee moon,

And all the fairies will start to sing

And dance on the grass in a great round ring.

Rose Fyleman.
