A Good Play

TEbuilt W a ship upon the stairs All made of the back-bedroom chairs, And filled it full of sofa pillows To go a-sailing on the billows. GOD REST YE We took a saw and several nails, Andwater in the nursery pails ; And Tom said, "Let us also take An apple and a slice of cake;"_ Which was enough for Tom and me To go a-sailing on, till tea. We sailed along for days and days, Andhad the very best of plays ; But Tom fell out and hurt his knee, So there was no one left but me.
