Gardener sherd

I found a sherd with a piece of writing on it on the foreshore and found it looks very similar to a cute pearlware Child’s Alphabet Mug, circa 1830 on an antiques website.

I like the verses on it:

"G was a Gardener who works many hours.
H was a Hot-house to hold his choice flowers

A was an ass so stupid & dull.
B was a bee with her honey bag full.”

The rest of my finds included some more Staffordshire Slipware, a very speckled sherd with a bumpy texture, a piece of blue glass, and various other things:

Oh, surprise! I wondered if it was a lead bag seal but it looked rusty so not because ferrous. It is a seal or bottle cap, I think, but relatively modern.
