Nursery rhyme.

                                                                "She said her prayers..."


 Old Nursery rhyme for  play at  Ferguson High School, Rathnapura. It was run by the Baptist Missionary Society - a BMS aided school. A pun was used to interpret the BMS as standing for 'Bath Mus Ischola' , because beef was on the menu at dinner time. I did not eat beef. My neighbor at the dinner table a youngster called Dias, would happily take the meat, avoiding the probing eyes of the supervising matron Miss Vander Straaten.

                                                " Mademoiselle,

                                            She went to the well,

                                                She never forgot,

                                            Her soap and her towel,

                                                She washed her face,

                                                She dried her hair,

                                            She  said  her prayers,

                                        And jumped into bed'.
