She measured out the butter,
with a very solemn air; The milk and sugar also,
And she took the greatest care
To count the eggs correctly,
And to add a little bit
Of baking powder, which you know
Beginners oft´ omit,
Then she stirred it all together,
And she baked it for an hour;
But she never quite forgave herself
For leaving out the flour.
