Mistress Peggy.

Funny little face.

Never wears a smile;

Two wooden legs,

Couldn’t walk a mile.

Stupid little head

Only made of wood;

Yet does her duty

As everybody should.

Sets her tiny teeth

And won’t let go,

Never mind how fiercely

The wind may blow.

She’s a very useful

Good old friend of mine;

Little Mistress Peggy,

Of the laundry line.
