"I should like to catch a fish," was a very fine thought;
Little Bobby thought it:
"A little fat fish to put upon a dish;"
Little Bobby caught it.

"I should like to catch some more," was a very fine thought;
Little Bobby thought it.
"Here's another little trout; I must put the rascal out;"
Little Bobby caught it.

"I sha'n't go back to school," was another fine thought;
Little Bobby thought it;
But it chanced Dr. Cane came by along the lane;
And Little Bobby caught it!
