To see a haymaker using of rakes, is no news;
But to see a bear making plum cakes, is strange indeed!
What I have got in the pan,
I shall eat if I can,
And this cake on the shelf,
I shall keep for myself.
To see a barrel made by a cooper, is no news,
But to see a goat act the part of a trooper, is strange indeed!
Hur will fight hur foes
For the honour of Wales,
And if the French come,
They shall turn their tails.
To see wrestlers kicking shins, is no news;
But to see cats playing at nine pins, is strange indeed!
