1.

There was 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!"

2.

There was a Young Lady of Ryde,

Whose shoe-strings were seldom untied;

She purchased some clogs,

And some small spotty dogs,

And frequently walked about Ryde.
