Description:

A girl wearing a loose straw cottage bonnet is seen from the side looking annoyed as two nagging children follow her around, jeering and pointing their fingers downward. The rhyme goes as follows:

Tell Tale Tit,
Your tongue shall be slit;
And all the dogs in the town
Shall have a little bit.
