Simple Simon Met a Pieman.
Reading edition
Simple Simon met a pieman Going to the fair; Says Simple Simon to the pieman, “Let me taste your ware.” Says the pieman to Simple Simon, “Show me first your penny;” Says Simple Simon to the pieman, “Indeed, I have not any.” Simple Simon went a-fishing For to catch a whale; All the water he had got Was in his mother’s pail. Simple Simon went to look If plums grew on a thistle; He pricked his fingers very much, Which made poor Simon whistle.
