Hey Diddle Diddle 
by:  Roald Dahl

Hey diddle diddle
We're all on the fiddle
And never got up until noon.
We only take cash
Which we carefully stash
And we work by the light of the moon.


I had a Little Nut-tree
by:  Roald Dahl

I had a little nut-tree,
Nothing would it bear.
I searched in all its branches,
But not a nut was there.

'Oh, little tree,' I begged,
'Give me just a few.'
The little tree looked down at me
And whispered, 'Nuts to you.'
