There once was a fly on the wall.
I wonder why didn't it fall.
Because its feet stuck,
Or was it just luck,
Or does gravity miss things so small?
To manage to keep up a brain,
It's no easy job, it is plain;
That's why a great many
Don't ever use any,
Thus avoiding the care and the strain.
There once was a fisherman named Fisher,
Who was fishing for fish in a fissure.
Then, a cod with a grin
Pulled the fisherman in.
Now they're fishing the fissure for Fisher.
A dozen, a gross, and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared plus zero, no more.
The bottle of perfume that Willie sent,
Was highly displeasing to Milicent.
Her thanks were so cold
That they quarelled, I'm told
Over that silly scent Willie sent Milicent
The fabulous Wizard of Oz
Retired from business because,
Due to up-to-date science,
To most of his clients,
He wasn't the Wiz he once was.
There was an old man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
His daughter named Nan
Ran off with a man,
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.
There once was a person from Lyme
Who married three wives at a time.
When asked, "Why a third?"
He replied, "One's absurd,
And bigamy, sir, is a crime!"
There were three little birds in a wood
Who always sang hymns when they could.
What the words were about
You could never make out,
But you felt it was doing them good
There once was a man from Peru,
Who dreamed of eating his shoe.
He awoke with a fright
In the middle of the night
And found that his dream had come true!
I was called by a fish in the sea.
He called out to my dog and me.
That came as a shock!
Didn't know fish could talk,
And my dog said, "Neither did we!"
