and they stand so low
you got to pick 'em up
just to say hello."

"little people"
is a windows95 truetype font 
digitized from a collection of 19th century public domain woodcuts
in july of 1997
by steven j. lundeen,
emerald city fontwerks, 
seattle, washington, usa.

this clipfont has been made available as freeware,
and no restrictions have been placed on its distribution or use.

however,
the font author has included this readme file 
because it contains a couple of curious "little people" poems,
which accompanied the original woodcut artwork ...

and by way of a disclaimer,
the font author wishes to point out that he harbors no ill will against "little people"...
he has always, in fact, been one of them......

"boys and girls come out to play"
(a nursery rhyme)

boys and girls come out to play,
the moon doth shine as bright as day.
leave your supper and leave your sleep,
and join your playfellows in the street.
come with a whoop and come with a call,
come with a good will or not at all.
up the ladder and down the wall,
a half-penny loaf will serve us all;
you find milk, and i'll find flour,
and we'll have a pudding in half an hour.

-----


(a scottish version)

lazy deuks that sit i' the
	coal-neuks,
and winna come out to
	play;
leave your supper, and
	leave your sleep,
come out and play at
	hide-and-seek.
