Zany Stanzas
Here's the story of Little Nell,
Who fell pell-mell into a well;
Mother said, while drawing water,
"My, it's hard to raise a daughter!"
I sneezed a sneeze into the air,
It fell to earth I know not where;
But hard and cold were the looks of those
In whose vicinity I snoze.
The savages closed around the tent;
The lovers trembled in the gloom.
They knew their life was well-nigh spent;
They knew they faced their doom.
He kissed the ringlets on her head;
He crushed her in embrace of death.
And as he kissed her lips he said,
"There's garlic on your breath!"
They walked the lane together,
The sky was covered with stars;
They reached the gate in silence,
He lifted down the bars.
She raised her brown eyes to him,
There was nothing between them now;
For he was just a farmer's boy,
And she - a Jersey cow!
I eat my peas with honey,
I've done it all my life.
They do taste kind of funny,
But it keeps them on the knife!
Divorced are Mr. and Mrs. Howell -
He wiped the car with her guest towel!
