And the first thing they did find

Was a dingling-dangling hornet’s-nest

A-swinging in the wind.

Looky there!

And the first one said—“What is it?”

Said the next, “We’ll punch and see”:

And the next one said, a mile from there,

“I wish we’d let it be!”

Looky there!

And they hunted and they hal-looed;
