If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickle peppers
Where's the peck of pickle peppers Peter Piper
picked?"
P oor Peter toiled his life away,
That afterward the world might say
"Where is the peck of peppers he

The peppers are embalmed in metre,—
But who, alas! inquires for Peter?
In sun or storm, by night and day,
