Little Jack Horner
Sat in the corner,
Eating a Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,
And said,
What a good boy am I!
Little Jack Horner was not a good boy at all ! He was a
messenger boy for a bishop. In olden days, it was common
to hide things in pies and the bishop sent jack to
present a pie to the king, which had the deeds to 12
estates. On the way, Jack Horner stole the deed to the
Manor of Mells, a"plum" estate ! and even today, the
Horner family lives in that estate ! wow ! |
