There was a young girl of Asturias
Whose temper was frantic and furious.
She used to throw eggs
At the butcher boy's legs -
A habit unpleasant, but curious.
There was a young lady named Maud,
A very deceptive young fraud;
She never was able
To eat at the table,
But out in the pantry - O Lord!
There was an old man from Peru
Who dreamt he was eating his shoe.
He awoke in the night
In a terrible fright -
And found it was perfectly true!
There was a young wife from Antigua
Who remarked to her spouse, "What a pigua!"
He retorted, "My queen,
Is it manners you mean?
Or do you refer to my figua?"
There was a lady from Guam
Who said, "Now the ocean's so calm
I will swim for a lark."
She encountered a shark - Let us now sing the 90th psalm.
The Sultan got sore at his harem,
And invented a scheme for to scare 'em;
He caught him a mouse
Which he loosed in the house
(The confusion is called harem-scarem.)
There was a young lady of Lynn
Who was so excessively thin
That when she essayed
To drink lemonade -
She slipped through the straw and fell in!
There was a young lady named Banker
Who slept while the ship lay at anchor;
She awoke in dismay
When she heard the mate say:
"Now hoist up the topsheet and spanker!"(spank her)
