	4         Traditional Nursery Songs. A sow-pig, or a boar pig, Or a pig with a curly tail ? A MAN of words and not of deeds Is like a garden full of weeds; And when the weeds begin to grow, It's like a garden full of snow; And when the snow begins to fall, It's like a bird upon the wall; And when the bird away does fly, It's like an eagle in the sky; And when the sky begins to roar, It's like a lion at the door; And when the door begins to crack, It's like a stick across your back ; And when your back begins to smart, It's like a penknife in your heart; And when your heart begins to bleed, You're dead, and dead, and dead, indeed. A PIE sate on a pear tree, A pie sate on a pear tree, A pie sate on a pear tree, Heigh O ! heigh O ! heigh O!
