Pray tell me the time
It is six, 
It is seven.
It's half past eleven,
It's twenty to two,
I want thirteen stamps
Does your child have convulsions?
Please bring me some rhubarb
I need a shampoo.
How much is that hat?
I desire some red stockings.
My mother is married,
These boots are too small,
My aunt has a cold.
Shall we go to the opera?
This meat is disgusting.
Is this the Town Hall?

My cousin is deaf.
Kindly bring me a hatchet,
Pray pass me the pepper,
What pretty cretonne,
What time is the train?
It is late,
It is early,
It’s running on schedule,
It’s here,
It has gone…

This mutton is tough,
There’s a mouse in my bedroom,
This egg is delicious,
This soup is too thick,
Please bring me a trout,
What an excellent pudding,
Pray hand me my gloves,
I’m going to be sick!
