"My Grocer" Poetry Worksheet |

To market, to market, to buy a plum cake (Butter, and sugar, and tea)! What!? Two pence a pound? Oh, you've made a mistake. That's far too expensive for me. I have brought my poor little dolly with me, And come such a very long way. I'm sure we're as tired as tired can be; 'Tis most disappointing, I say. |
Oh, ma'am! I assure you our goods are the best (Butter, and sugar, and tea)! Why, old Mrs. Doggie buys tea by the chest, And all her brown sugar from me! But I know, ma'am, how sadly you need your plum cake, And you've come such a very long way; So a little reduction, for once, I will make, And charge you--just nothing, today. |
