LILLIE AND GOLDIE


from the ABC set THE ANIMALS WENT IN TWO BY TWO

In the garden little Lillie
Was digging with great Endeavour
When she was spotted by Mrs. Gish
Her very nosy neighbor

Mrs. Gish leant on the fence
And asked, “What are you doing Lillie"?
“My goldfish Goldie died
So I’m digging a hole to bury it, see”?

“You silly little girl” she replied
That hole is far too big for a goldfish
Smiling Lillie looked up and said
“Not when it’s inside your cat Mrs. Gish”
