Ring o' Roses  by L. Leslie Brooke

There Was a Man

There was a man, and he had nought,

And robbers came to rob him;

[Illustration]

He crept up to the chimney-pot,

[Illustration]

And then they thought they had him,


[Illustration]

But he got down on t'other side,


[Illustration]

And then they could not find him;

[Illustration]

He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days,

And never looked behind him.
