The House That Jack Built by S.Marshak from English folklore poetry
This is the house that Jack built.
This is the wheat That is kept in the dark pantry
In the house that Jack built.
And this is the merry titmouse
That often steals the wheat That is kept in the dark pantry
In the house that Jack built.
This is the cat,
That scares and catches the titmouse,
That often steals the wheat That is kept in the dark pantry
In the house that Jack built.
This is the tailless dog
That tosses the cat
That scares and catches the titmouse,
That often steals the wheat
That is kept in the dark pantry
In the house that Jack built.
This is the hornless cow
That kicked the tailless dog,
That tosses the cat
That scares and catches the titmouse,
That often steals the wheat
That is kept in the dark pantry
In the house that Jack built.
And this is the old lady, grey-haired and strict,
that milks the hornless cow
That kicked the tailless dog,
That tosses the cat
That scares and catches the titmouse,
That often steals the wheat
That is kept in the dark pantry
In the house that Jack built.
And this is the lazy fat shepherd,
That wrangles with the strict old lady,
that milks the hornless cow
That kicked the tailless dog,
That tosses the cat
That scares and catches the titmouse,
That often steals the wheat
That is kept in the dark pantry
In the house that Jack built.
These are two roosters,
That wake up that shepherd,
That wrangles with the strict old lady,
that milks the hornless cow
That kicked the tailless dog,
That tosses the cat
That scares and catches the titmouse,
That often steals the wheat
That is kept in the dark pantry
In the house that Jack built.
