The Three Little Stars

Twink and Wrink and Shrink Were three little stars in the sky. Twink had a twinkle And Wrink had a wrinkle And Shrink was bashful and shy.

Twink was merry and full of fun, Wrink was very wise, Shrink stayed in his place With a smile on his face And looked at the earth from the skies.

Twink, one day, in a merry mood, Played hookey from the star teacher's class. With a shout of mirth He slipped to earth And twinkled like dew on the grass.

Wrink grew more thoughtful hour by hour, And went to the Moon House to stay. Shrink stayed in his place With a smile on his face, And there he remains to this day.
