Mother Who?

The boatman takes a wife,

The poet takes a wife,

Spin, spin, the merry-go-round

They both take a wife.

The writer plucks a quill,

The painter dips his brush,

Spin, spin, the merry-go-round

The writer plucks a quill.

The rooster pecks the whack,

The duck says, quack-quack,

Spin, spin, the merry-go-round

The rooster pecks the whack.

The farmer strings his neck,

The farmer goes whack, whack,

Spin, spin, the merry-go-round

The farmer strings his neck.

There's feathers in the pillow,

The son bends the willow,

Spin, spin, the merry-go-round

There's feathers in the pillow.

The writer writes the verse,

There's pennies in his purse,

Spin, spin, the merry-go-round

The

         Writer

               Writes

                        The verse.
