Who'd hang by her toes in the doorway.
     She went to her dude
     And his friends in the ****
And requested a fjordian fjour-way.

There was Old Person of Crete
Who walked on the ***** of his feet:

Whose cabin was upland and inland:

That flapperous Person of Finland.

Exposed to the city of Paris.

There was an Old Husband of Arles
Whose wife had a passion for quarrels:
All day and all night she'd invite him to fight,

His koto the best in Kyoto.

There was an Old Man of Algiers
Who listened with elephant ears
To streams and to trees and to birds and to bees
That delighted the Man of Algiers.

There was a Young Lady of Arles
Who married a ****** named Charles:
When they asked, "Does it fit?" she replied, "Not a bit!"

There was an Old Man with a beard
Whose ****** expressions were weird:
He'd grimace when glad and he'd twinkle when sad,
That curious Old Man with a beard.

There was an Old Man
Of Japan
Whose limericks would never
Ever
Scan, that instupendious Old Man of Japan.

There once was a guru of Ind
Who fasted and fasted and thinned.

Whose favoritest butter was canna:

Created by Pachayomama:
     He went to the zoo,
     And he stepped in some poo,
And he met as an elephant Brahma.

There once was a man on the Moon
Who dined with a runcible spoon.
     The dinner was splendid,
     And when it was ended
They played with a rainbow balloon.

There once was a man from Kilkenny
Who purchased a pipe for a penny,
     Then filled it with wacky
     And woolly tobacky,
And smoked himself dumb at four:twenny.
