Jack, be nimble,
Jack, be quick;
(Jack is one hand walking along on its
fore-and middle-fingers.)

Jack, jump over
The candlestick.
(Fist closed; uplifted thumb for candle.
Jack jumps over it.)
TWO LITTLE HANDS
image
Two little hands so soft and white,
This is the left—this is the right.
Five little fingers stand on each,
So I can hold a plum or a peach.
But if I should grow as old as you
Lots of little things these hands can do.

PAT A CAKE
Pat a cake, pat a cake, baker’s man.
So I do, master, as fast as I can.
Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with T,
And then it will serve for Tommy and me.
