There is a Schumann version of Marienw=FCrmchen which refers to a Ladybird
(as in Ladybird, Ladybird fly away home)

There is also a set of Three Nonsense Songs, words by Edward Lear, music b=
y
Victor Hely-Hutchinson(Paterson's publication). It includes the well-known
Owl and the Pussycat and the Duck and the Kangaroo.
It's always appreciated when one introduces some humor into a recital,
especially if there is the likelihood of children being present.
