Lady Bird and Daddy Longlegs. Rhymes and Jingles by Mary Mapes Dodge for children
Lady-Bird, in gown so gay,
Came creeping from the clover;
Daddy Longlegs went that way,
And nearly knocked her over.
"I'll tell my ant!" she cried out quick.
"It beats the bugs!" said he.
"A tad-pole for your walking stick
Would suit you well," said she.
