  "summary": "\"Polly Put the Kettle On\" is a short nursery rhyme you can read free online, built around the simple, cheerful rhythm of teatime preparations. Polly puts the kettle on for guests, but the moment they leave, Sukey takes it straight back off again. The rhyme's gentle back-and-forth captures a cosy domestic moment with an unexpectedly playful twist — hospitality extended and just as quickly withdrawn when the company disappears.",
