A watched pot never boi ls .
Aft e r dinner si t awhi l e ; afte r supper walk a
All hi s finger s ar e thumbs .
All i s fish that comes to the , net.
All is not gold that glitter s .
Al l ’ s well that ends well .
All work an d no play makes Jac k a dull boy .
All your gees e ar e swans .
Al ways t ak ing o ut of the meal t ub, an d n e ve r putti n g in , soon comes to the bottom
An inch on a man ’ s nose is much .
An o ld bir d is not caught with chafi .
An o ld dog will l ear n no new tricks .
As bar e as the back of my hand .

The King of France went up the hi ll ,
With twenty thousa nd m e n ;
The King of France cam e down the hill ,
And ne ’ er went up again .
The man i n the wi l derness asked me ,
How ma ny strawberries gr ew i n the se a .
I answer ed him , as I thought good,
As many r e d herri n gs as gr ew i n the wood .
Ther e was a cr ooke d man , an d he went a cr ooke d
He found a cr ooked Sixpence against a cr ooked
He bought a cr ooked cat , which caught a cr ooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a li t tl e crooke d house .
To m, To m , the piper ’ s so n , Stol e a pig an d away he r un !
The pig w as e at , an d To m w as beat,
And To m went r oaring down the str eet.
Ther e w as a littl e boy went into a barn ,
And l ay down on s ome hay ;
An o wl came o ut an d flew about, And the little boy ran away .
Ther e was a man of o ur town,
And he was wondr ou s wis e ;
He j u mped into a br ambl e b us h,
And scr atched o ut both hi s eyes
And when he saw hi s eyes wer e o ut ,
With all his might an d main
He j umped into a nother bush,
And scr atched ’ e m in again .
This pig went to mar ket ;
Thi s pig stayed at home ;
Thi s pig ha d a bi t of meat ;
And this pig had none ;
This pig said, Wee, wee, we e !
I can ’ t fin d my way home .
