SELIGOR'S
CASTLE PRESENTS
BROWN
EGGS
I
like brown eggs far the
best; Out
of a brown old haystack
nest, Under a brown hen, cosy,
stout, With brown fowls hovering round
about.
Long ago, so I've been
told, A
goose laid eggs of purest
gold.
(Eggs of gold in a gold in a golden
shell
Mean none to eat, and all to sell
!)
Eggs of gold would build a
town, Eggs of gold would buy a
crown, Buy
a crown and make a
king, And
grant his lady anything
!
I
have brown eggs for my
tea, Served in an egg-cup bought for me
! So
keep your gold and all the
rest, I
like brown eggs far the best
!
