Subject: Origins: What Became of the Peas/Five Little Peas From: Joe Offer Date: 05 Jul 14 - 03:40 AM Airymouse asked about this in another thread. I found it in Puck Magazine, Volume 14 & Volume 16, 1884. NONSENSE VERSES In a pretty green pea-pod Lived five little peas, Who always said "Thank you" And "Yes, if you please." But one pea was naughty, And cross, and a tease, And frightened the four Good little green peas. They lay there one day, Those five little peas, When the naughty one said, "I'm going to sneeze." "Oh!" "Oh!" and "Oh!" "Oh!" Said four little peas: "It's dreadful to think of!" "Oh, don't, if you please!" But he said, "Yes, I will," That most wicked of peas: "I shall do what I choose to, And you needn't tease." The pod never saw Such a very big sneeze, It split and out tumbled Five little green peas. That day there was blowing A very strong breeze, And I never could learn What became of the peas. Eva March Tappan in Good Cheer Google Books |
