The Lion and the Unicorn
The Lion and the Unicorn were fighting for the crown,
The Lion beat the Unicorn all around the town.
Some gave them white bread, and some gave them brown,
Some gave them plum-cake, and sent them out of town

And there will be an end of you.

Your Coming Home
by Roger Robicheau
In thrill I wait, you’ll soon be home
Your land, past oceans white with foam
I brave each day till our eyes meet
Your treasured heart, I miss its beat
When you arrive I won’t be shy
You’ll see excitement, I may cry
