A ladybird rhyme, asking after a wedding day before sending the little creature off on its wings. Light and quick, good for a finger walking across a small hand. Just as much at home in the garden as on the sofa.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
Burnie bee, burnie bee,
Tell me when your wedding be?
If it be to-morrow day,
Take your wings and fly away.
