The Cupboard

By Walter De La Mare

I know a little cupboard, With a teeny tiny key, And there's a jar of Lollypops For me, me, me. It has a little shelf, my dear, As dark as dark can be, And there's a dish of Banbury Cakes For me, me, me. I have a small fat grandmamma, With a very slippery knee, And she's the Keeper of the Cupboard With the key, key, key. And I'm very good, my dear, As good as good can be, There's Branbury Cakes, and Lollypops For me, me, me.
