... I've got to send this to Lina

Dragon Mood? -- happy; this dragon loves tail-swishin' rhymes

Here's a cute rhyme from Virginia Kahl (1955) called "The Duchess Bakes a Cake:"

A long time ago there lived over the waters
A Duchess, a Duke and their family of daughters --
Madeleine, Gwendolyn, Jane and Clothilde,
Caroline, Genevieve, Maude and Mathilde,
Willibald, Guinevere, Joan and Brunhilde,
And the youngest of all was the baby, Gunhilde.

Doesn't it make you smile?

I wonder if there's more? Where's the part about the Duchess baking a cake? From this site. Which I surfed to from this very cool baby-wizard-name-voyager site.
