We have already enjoyed a couple of pleasing nursery platitudes; perhaps it would not be altogether out of order to expect in future a series something like the following: "Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter Be!!??!?!" "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe!" "Sing a Song of Sixpence, a Bag Full of Rye!" "Hiccory, Diccory, Dock!!!" etc., etc.
