All of them.

"Tarry a while", said Slow
"Put on the pan", cried Greedy Nan
Let's sup before we go!"

There was an old woman tossed up in a blanket
Seventeen times as high as the moon
Where she was going I just had to ask it
For in her hand she carried a broom
"Old woman, old woman, old woman", said I
"Where are you going to, up so high?"
"I'm sweeping the cobwebs out of the sky."
"When are you coming back?"
"Oh, by and by."


I had a little nut tree
Nothing would it bear
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear
The King of Spain's daughter
Came to visit me
And all for the sake
Of my little nut tree

Little Polly Flinders
Sat among the cinders
Warming her pretty little toes
Her mother came and caught her
And spanked her little daughter
For spoiling her brand new clothes

See saw Marjorie Daw
Johnny shall have a new master
He shall earn just a penny a day
Because he can't work any faster

A sad lonely dwellar
Was sat in the cellar
Trolling his time away
He posted his worstest
and nothing at first but
Maybe today's his day.
