NONSENSE VERSES
Reading edition
1 HERE was a small boy of Quebec, Who was buried in snow to his neck: When they said, "Are you friz?" He replied, "Yes I is— But we don't call this cold in Quebec!"
[Rudyard Kipling
2 There was an old man of St. Bees, Who was stung in the arm by a wasp: When they asked, "Does it hurt?" He replied, "No it doesn't, But I thought all the while 'twas a Hornet!"
[W.S. Gilbert
