Marbles

            GAME AT MARBLES
(Author unknown, from an antique children's book) 

Just have a game of marbles, there's plenty of time to spare;
Here's a capital bit of ground, by the railings of the square.
There's no policeman near, and very few people about,
And no one will interfere, and Bob turned his marbles out.
Then the idle school-boys began to play, and all about school forgot;
And the butcher's boy forgot his meat, and the baker's boy his bread;
And there they stayed to watch the game: "There's plenty of time," they said.
But time fled fast, although they took of it no heed;
And when they heard eleven strike, they were surprised indeed.
