26 RHYMES AND JINGLES. BURS. Dear me! What shall it be?Such sticky affairs Did ever you see ?Lets make a basket, Lets make a mat,Lets make a tea-board, Lets make a hat;Lets make a cottage, Windows and doors ;You do the roof, And Ill do the floors.Lets make a pancake,-- Stick em together ;See how they fasten Close to each other!Tied to ones heel They would answer for spursAh, how we love em, These comical burs!
