The Cupboard
written by Walter de la Mare
Peacock Pie (1913) Link to further information




I know a little cupboard,
     With a teeny tiny key,
And there's a jar of Lollypops
          For me, me, me.

It has a little shelf, my dear,
     As dark as dark can be,
And there's a dish of Banbury Cakes
          For me, me, me.

I have a small fat grandmamma,
     With a very slippery knee,
And she's the Keeper of the Cupboard
          With the key, key, key.

And when I'm very good, my dear,
     As good as good can be,
There's Banbury Cakes, and Lollypops
          For me, me, me.
