Little Jack Horner
Sat in the corner,
Eating a Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,
And said, ‘What a good boy am I!’

Origin
Although there is some speculation that “Little Jack Horner” is based on the 16th-century English story, “The Fryer and the Boy,” the rhyme was first published as a section of “Namby Pamby” (1725), a ballad written by the English poet, dramatist and songwriter, Henry Carey. It may have already been well known by that time. In the 19th century, the rhyme was rumored to have satirized a real-life account of property theft via pie in mid-16th century England, but that theory has been disputed.
