Calico Pie, <br />The little Birds fly <br />Down to the calico tree, <br />Their wings were blue, <br />And they sang 'Tilly-loo!' <br />Till away they flew, <br />And they never came back to me! <br />They never came back! <br />They never came back! <br />They never came back to me! <br /> <br />Calico Jam, <br />The little Fish swam <br />Over the syllabub sea, <br />He took off his hat <br />To the Sole and the Sprat, <br />And the Willeby-wat, <br />But he never came back to me! <br />He never came back! <br />He never came back! <br />He never came back to me! <br /> <br />Calico Ban, <br />The little Mice ran, <br />To be ready in time for tea, <br />Flippity-flup, <br />They drank it all up, <br />And danced in the cup, <br />But they never came back to me! <br />They never came back! <br />They never came back! <br />They never came back to me! <br /> <br />Calico Drum, <br />The Grasshoppers come, <br />The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee, <br />Over the ground, <br />Around and around, <br />With a hop and a bound - <br />But they never came back! <br />They never came back! <br />They never came back! <br />They never came back to me!<br /><br />Edward Lear<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/calicoe-pie/
