There was a young man from Darjeeling
who got on a bus bound to Ealing.
It said at the door:
Don't spit on the floor!
So he carefully spat on the ceiling.

There was a young man who said: why
can't I look in my ear with my eye?
I think I can do it
if I put my mind to it.
You never can say till you try!

There was a young man in Peru
who found he had nothing to do.
So he sat on a chair
and counted his hair
and found he had seventy-two.

There was a young man named Ned,
Who, just before going to bed,
Ate very much
Of a cheese that was Dutch -
And when he woke up, he was dead!

A canner, exceedingly canny,
One morning remarked to his granny,
"A canner can can
Anything that he can,
But a canner can't can a can, can he?"
