Sing a Song of Six Pence - The King
Water-colour illustration and mixed media
Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds
Backed in a pie.
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before the King?
The King was in the counting-house
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlor
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird
And snapped off her nose.
