Rhymes Without Reason
There's a young man who lives in Belsize
Who thinks he is clever and wise;
Why, what do you think?
He's saved gallons of ink
By simply not dotting his i's!
There was a young person named Ned
Who dined before going to bed
On lobster and ham
And salad and jam,
And when he awoke he was dead!
One day I went out to the zoo,
For I wanted to see the old gnu.
But the old gnu was dead,
And the new gnu, they said,
Was so new as a gnu, he was blue!
A maiden at college, Miss Keyes,
Weighed down by B.A.'s and Lit. D's,
Collapsed from the strain;
Said her doctor, "It's plain
You are killing yourself - by degrees!"
There was a lady in No. Dak.
Who photoed a bear with a kodak.
The button she pressed -
The bear did the rest;
The lady stopped running in So. Dak.!
There was a young lady of Crete
Who was so exceedingly neat -
When she got out of bed
She stood on her head
To make sure of not soiling her feet!
A cheerful old bear at the zoo
Could always find something to do.
When it bored him, you know,
To walk to and fro,
He reversed it - and walked fro and to!
There was a young fellow named Hall
Who fell in the spring in the fall;
'Twould have been a sad thing
If he died in the spring,
But he didn't - he died in the fall!
