Cute Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,
little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
whose fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
and everywhere that Mary went,
the lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day
school one day, school one day,
It followed her to school one day,
which was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play,
laugh and play, laugh and play,
it made the children laugh and play
to see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned it out,
turned it out, turned it out,
And so the teacher turned it out,
but still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about,
patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about
till Mary did appear.

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
Love Mary so? Love Mary so?
"Why does the lamb love Mary so,"
the eager children cry.
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
The lamb, you know, the lamb, you know,
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,"
the teacher did reply.

Back to Cutie



First full week "back to school" and found this interesting image... Sweet German birdie cuties in their outdoor school being taught by a little boy in "old elf man teacher" outfit. Weird? Yes! Beautifully illustrated in the 1940s? Yes! Kinda oddly cutie? Yes too! xxxo

Back to School Cutie



It's back to school week in SF, so here's a vintage crossing sign in celebration of kids learning the three R's. I have no idea this missies origin or when she was posted, but my guess is the forties by the way she is illustrated and attire. And whatta sassy kid she is... even this driver would of slowed down for her. Hello there cutie sign! xxxo
