A brisk rhyme about a lost pocket and an empty find. Lucy Locket and Kitty Fisher were both real eighteenth-century women, a nice fact to keep in your back pocket. Quick and tidy, easy to learn by heart.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it;
Nothing in it, nothing in it,
But the binding round it.
