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'.
