I never thought my life could be Anything but catastrophe
Little Tommy Tadpole began to weep and wail,
Gooses, geeses I want my geese to lay gold eggs for easter
I'm hiding, I'm hiding
And no one knows where;
Daily work and pastime daily
In their order taking gaily
Oh you Knid, you are vile and vermicious! You are slimy and soggy and squishous!
And is it True? It is not True.
And if it were it wouldn’t do,
Hist! . . . . . . Hark!
The night is very dark,
There was a Boy whose name was Jim;
His Friends were very good to him.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
If I were a bear, And a big bear too,
Ding dong bell, The cat is in the well.
Some one came knocking
At my wee, small door;
When the sun
Shines through the leaves of the apple-tree,
Oh, he was old and he was spare; His bushy whiskers and his hair
Here's a ridiculous riddle for you:
How many o's are there in Woolloomooloo?
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
There were Two Little Bears who lived in a Wood, And one of them was Bad and the other was Good.
There are lions and roaring tigers, and enormous camels and things,
Sick "I cannot go to school today," Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
Of all the Knights in Appledore The wisest was Sir Thomas Tom.
Old farmer Jack gazed on his wheat,
And feared the frost would nip it.
There are lots and lots of people who are always asking things, Like Dates and Pounds-and-ounces and the names of funny Kings,
"What is a Bongaloo, Daddy?" "A Bongaloo, Son," said I,
"Are you deaf, Father William!" the young man said,
"Did you hear what I told you just now?
There was an old woman
Liv'd under a hill,
Did you see them pass to-day, Billy, Kate and Robin,
All astride upon the back of old grey Dobbin?
Hey, there! Hoop-la! the circus is in town!
When I look into the looking glass
The Chief Defect of Henry King
Was chewing little bits of String.
