Miss Molly And The Little Fishes.

Topics: classic

Oh, sweet Miss Molly,     You're so fond     Of Fishes in a little Pond.     And perhaps they're glad     To see you stare     With such bright eyes     Upon them there.     And when your fingers and your thumbs     Drop slowly in the small white crumbs     I hope they're happy. Only this     When you've looked long enough, sweet miss.     Then, most beneficent young giver,     Restore them to their native river.
