CAKES AND PIES.
Reading edition
In the dough! In the dough! This is the way we make it go: Roll it, roll it, smooth and thin; Pound it with the rolling-pin; Cut with thimbles, and it makes Just the nicest dolly cakes. Dolly, now, must have a pie: We will make it, you and I. Here's a cunning little tin! Roll and roll the pie-crust thin; Spread it smoothly now within; Lay some bits of apple in, Cover nicely; let it bake: That's the way our pies we make. Dolly may not eat it all; Then, if playmates chance to call, We will give them a surprise With our little cakes and pies. All we make is good to eat; For our hands are clean and sweet; And we have such handy ways. Our dear mother often says, That she thinks, by all the looks, We shall soon be famous cooks.
Emeroy Hayward.
