COMICAL FOLK
Reading edition
IN a cottage in Fife Lived a man and his wife, Who, believe me, were comical folk;
For, to people's surprise, They both saw with their eyes, And their tongues moved whenever they spoke.
When they were asleep, I'm told—that to keep Their eyes open they could not contrive; They both walked on their feet, And 't was thought what they eat Helped, with drinking, to keep them alive.
