Tommy Tiddler

By Dan Beard

Tommy Tiddler's Land

Tommy Tiddler represents a miserly old dwarf, the owner of some mineral property. The dwarf attacks all trespassers on his domain. Tommy's land must have been very rich in mineral deposits, for the boys cry:

I'm on Tom Tiddler's ground 
Picking up gold and silver.

Sometimes Tommy is the King. Then the boys say:

I'm on the King's land 
Stealing his gold and silver.

But whether it is Tommy Tiddler's, the King's, Van Dieman's, or the Ogre's land, there seems always to be plenty of gold and silver.
