Lyrics
Like Little Miss Muffet and Little Jack Horner the verse is an example of a nursery rhyme that contains six dactylic lines. The most common modern version of the lyrics is:
- Little Poll Parrot
- Sat in his garret
- Eating toast and tea;
- A little brown mouse
- Jumped into the house,
- And stole it all away.[1]
Origins
It has been argued that the rhyme originates in the seventeenth century.[2] The earliest printed version was in a collection by James Orchard Halliwell in the 1840s.[1]
