Little Poll Parrot is a traditional children's nursery rhyme.

[edit] Lyrics

Little Poll Parrot
Sat in his garret
Eating toast and tea;
A little brown mouse
Jumped into the house,
And stole it all away.

[edit] Rhyming

Originally this poem would have rhymed perfectly on lines 3 and 6, but as it is the pronunciation of "tea" has changed from rhyming with "hay" to rhyming with "bee". This is a good example of the evolution of the English Language.
