Two short rhymes bundled together: a riddle about something stuck fast to the King's kitchen door, and a merry verse about Willy Wilkin kissing the milkmaids and setting them all laughing. Both are built for a bouncy, playful read.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
Hick-a-more, Hack-a-more,
On the King's kitchen door,
All the King's horses,
And all the King's men,
Couldn't drive Hick-a-more, Hack-a-more,
Off the King's kitchen door.
WILLY, WILLY
Willy, Willy Wilkin
Kissed the maids a-milking,
Fa, la, la!
And with his merry daffing
He set them all a-laughing,
Ha, ha, ha!
