Gyles reads ‘The King’s Breakfast’ by A.A. Milne  



The King asked 

The Queen, and 

The Queen asked 

The Dairymaid: 

"Could we have some butter for 

The Royal slice of bread?" 

The Queen asked the Dairymaid, 

The Dairymaid 

Said, "Certainly, 

I'll go and tell the cow 

Now 

Before she goes to bed."  



The Dairymaid 

She curtsied, 

And went and told 

The Alderney: 

"Don't forget the butter for 

The Royal slice of bread." 

The Alderney 

Said sleepily: 

"You'd better tell 

His Majesty 

That many people nowadays 

Like marmalade 

Instead."  



The Dairymaid 

Said, "Fancy!" 

And went to 

Her Majesty. 

She curtsied to the Queen, and 

She turned a little red: 

"Excuse me, 

Your Majesty, 

For taking of 

The liberty, 

But marmalade is tasty, if 

It's very 

Thickly 

Spread."  



The Queen said 

"Oh!: 

And went to 

His Majesty: 

"Talking of the butter for 

The royal slice of bread, 

Many people 

Think that 

Marmalade 

Is nicer. 

Would you like to try a little 

Marmalade 

Instead?"  



The King said, 

"Bother!" 

And then he said, 

"Oh, deary me!" 

The King sobbed, 

"Oh, deary me!" 

And went back to bed. 

"Nobody," 

He whimpered, 

"Could call me 

A fussy man; 

I only want 

A little bit 

Of butter for 

My bread!"  



The Queen said, 

"There, there!" 

And went to 

The Dairymaid. 

The Dairymaid 

Said, "There, there!" 

And went to the shed.&a
