There was an Old Lady of France, Who taught little ducklings to dance; When she said, ‘Tick-a-tack!’ – they only said, ‘Quack!’ Which grieved that Old Lady of France. 2. There was an Old Person of Cromer, Who stood on one leg to read Homer; When he found he grew stiff, He jumped over the cliff. Which concluded that Person of Cromer. 3. 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!"
