"Yes, sir," said Alice, "I ca'n't remember the things I used to know—I've tried to say "How doth the little busy bee" and it came all different!"

1.
"You are old, father William," the young man said,
"And your hair is exceedingly white:
And yet you incessantly stand on your head—

"I feared it might injure the brain
But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."
