from Book of Nonsense
by Edward Lear There was an Old Man with a beard, Who said, "It is just as I feared!—— Two Owls and a Hen, Four Larks and a Wren, Have all built their nests in my beard!" There was an Old Man in a tree, Who was horribly bored by a Bee; When they said, "Does it buzz?" He replied, "Yes, it does! "It's a regular brute of a Bee!" There was a Young Lady whose chin, Resembled the point of a pin: So she had it made sharp, And purchased a harp, And played several tunes with her chin. |
