Living
Here Are Plenty of Shells
From Rhymes and Jingles (1875)
Living
"Here's plenty of shells and clay and water,
Make me some nice mud-pies, my daughter."
"Oh! yes, mamma--and the sun is hot,
I can heat my oven as well as not.
If you will take, why, I will make--
Pit 'em and pat 'em and set 'em to bake."
