How many apples have you had?'
She answered, 'Only seven!'
'And are you sure you took no more,
My little maid?' quoth I.
'Oh! please, sir, mother gave me four,
But they were in a pie!'
'If that's the case,' I stammered out,
'Of course you've had eleven;'
The maiden answered, with a pout,
'I ain't had more nor seven!'
