Three wise men of Gotham

Mother Goose Outline to Color

Bess Bruce Lleaveland 

Three wise men of Gotham 
Went to sea in a bowl, 
And if the bowl had been stronger, 
My song would have been longer.

Color Carbon or hectographed copies of this outline may be given to children to trace, color, and mount. Let one of the wise men wear dull-green, one dull-blue, and one dull-orange,- with hats to match. The bowl may be cream, with orange bands. Paint the sky and water light-blue, leaving the waves white. Outline heavily after painting.

Dandelions

 Dandelions 

A regiment of soldiers 
In uniforms of gold, 
Surprised and captured yonder hill-
They were so blithe and bold!

But soon their glory faded; 

They turned from gold to gray. 

Those bonny guardsmen of the spring 

Are veterans to-day!
