The Queen of Hearts She made some tarts, All on a summer’s day;
The Knave of Hearts He stole those tarts, And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts Called for the tarts, And beat the knave full sore;
The Knave of Hearts Brought back the tarts, And vowed he’d steal no more.
We know of no nursery rhyme featuring a Queen of Tarts, but Barry Moser’s inventive reinvention is far more charismatic!

Description
The Queen of Hearts
She made some tarts,
All on a summer’s day;
The Knave of Hearts
He stole those tarts,
And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts
Called for the tarts,
And beat the knave full sore;
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he’d steal no more.
We know of no nursery rhyme featuring a Queen of Tarts, but Barry Moser’s inventive reinvention is far more charismatic!
