Polperro Rhymes *
* Suitable for a bedtime story
Changeling
See Saw, Margery Daw
Left her bed and lay in the straw
Left the straw and lay in the hay
Piskey came and took her away.
Piskey Led
Jack the Lantern, Joan the Wad,
Light me home the weather's bad.
Piskey Thresher
Piskey fine, piskey gay
Piskey soon will fly away
Bats
Airey mouse, airey mouse fly over my head
And you shall have a crust of bread
And when I brew, or when I bake,
You shall have a piece of my wedding cake
The Giants Hedge
Jack the giant, with nothing to do, Built a hedge from Lerryn to Looe
