C. Janet Kingan, 21st May 1941
There was a young girl of Twickenham, Whose boots were too big to stick in
em',
She went but a mile and sat down on a stile, Took off her boots and was sick
in 'em.
One white foot, buy a horse, Two white feet, try a horse,
Three white feet, look well about him, Four white feet, go home without him.
A horse is dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the
middle.
The great art of riding is keeping the horse between yourself and the
ground.
H. Ussher, M.H.L. 21.1.41

One and one make two, But if one and one should marry,

With Love from Lorna Renee Carleton Allen 23/7/41 - O there was a little
hen, and she had a wooden leg,
The last little hen that even laid an egg, And she laid more eggs more eggs
than any hen on the farm,
Another little drink wouldn't do us any harm.
O we had some duck, & a lot of green peas, A pint of ginger beer & some
Stilton cheese,
And we got such a pain in the "shade of the palm"
Another little drink wouldn't do us any harm.
O there was a pretty maid & I grieve to say, She climbed upon a tree upon a
windy day,
And a naughty little breeze blew an awful storm,
Another little drink wouldn't do us any harm.
That's not the end, but it's quite enough.

Then see that every contact made, Each life that brushes yours is swayed, By
cheer and kindness,
So achieve my giving what you would receive
