Little Polly Flinders

Polly Flinders
Little Polly Flinders,
Sat among the cinders,
Warming her pretty little toes.
Her mother came and caught her,
And whipped her little daughter
For spoiling her nice new clothes.

Origin

This rhyme was first published in 1805 with the first line of, 'Little Jenny Flinders.' Over time this has become the 'Polly' we're familiar with today.
