There was once an Old Man with a beard,

Who said, "It is just as I feared!—

Two Owls and a Hen,

Four Larks and a Wren

Have all built their nests in my beard."

There was an old person of Ware

Who rode on the back of a bear;

When they said, "Does it trot?"

He said, "Certainly not,

It's a Moppsikon Floppsikon bear."
