Going on an Errand ~ A beautiful Rhyme from the pen of Whoever? Thankyou very much, Seligor

"A Pound of tea at one and three,
And a pot of raspberry jam,
Two new laid eggs, a dozen pegs,
And a pound of rashers of ham."

I'll say it over all the way,
And then I'm sure not to forget,
For if I chance to bring things wrong,
My mother gets in such a pet.

"A pound of tea at one and three,
And a pot of raspberry jam,
Two new laid eggs, a dozen pegs,
And a pound of rashers of ham."

There in the hay the children play -
They're having such jolly fun;
I'll go there, too, that's what I'll do,
As soon as my errands are done.

"A pound of tea at one and three,
A pot of - er - new laid jam!
Two raspberry eggs, with a dozen pegs,
And a pound of rashers of ham."

Now here's the shop, outside I'll stop,
And run through my orders again;
I haven't forgot - no, ne'er a jot -
It shows I'm pretty cute, that's plain.

"A pound of three at one and tea,
A dozen of raspberry ham
A pot of eggs, with a dozen pegs,
And a rasher of new laid jam."

Excellent, I wonder how many of us did that when we were little?....
