Said, “please explain poetry to me”.
I said to Rose
“Tweek his nose!”.

I got covered in strawberries and cream,
By a young lady named Lin
Who is full of hot sin –

Are fond of sinning.

Who spent all of her day in play.
A most kindly old gnome
Would come round with Joan,

Who fell into a pot of hot stew.
When they said, “are you cooked?”.
He said “I have long looked
To be cooked in a pot of stew!”.
