*Early to Bed
This is a very old rhyme, dating back as far as the 15th century.
It was very popular in the 19th century when there was another verse preceding this one which went:
“The cock crows in the morning
To tell us to rise,
And he that lies late
Will never be wise.”
James Thurber, the American writer and cartoonist, wrote a funny parody of it as follows:
“Early to rise and early to bed,
makes a male healthy, wealthy and dead!”
The modern version is short in it goes like this:
“Early to Bed” Lyrics
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man, healthy, wealthy and wise.

Here’s another one for you, Karr311. It is from my son’s Mother Goose book of 40 years ago.
Doctor Foster went to Gloucester
In a shower of rain.
He stepped in a puddle up to his middle
And never went there again!

Im a little tea pot
I'm a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout
Tip me over and pour me out!
I'm a very special teapot
Yes, it's true
Here's an example of what I can do
I can turn my handle into a spout
Tip me over and pour me out!

Here's an example of what I can do
I can turn my handle into a spout
Tip me over and pour me out!

I never heard that last verse. Just finishing up my last card, then mine will be ready.
