Things Portioned out Appropriately

Pots and pans
And German flans
A hat for the Master!
A hat!
A shovel for the Knave who is keeping pace
and a hand for the bard who rang

Ducks and geese
And Angora fleece
A sprat for the Master!
A sprat!
Some coal for the Knave who is keeping score
and a fly for the bard who'll hang

Cats and dogs
And Frankish frogs
A steak for the Master!
A steak!
A rind for the Knave who is keeping time
and a thrash for the bard who sang

Sheep and pigs
And Turkish figs
A pipe for the Master!
A pipe!
A slat for the Knave who is keeping guard
and a ditch as a grave for the bard
