There was an Old Man on a hill,
Who seldom, if ever, stood still;
He ran up and down,
In his Grandmother’s gown,
Which adorned that Old Man on a hill.

There once lived a boy called Joe
Who developed an enormous big toe,
On it there sat
A contented cat,
A granny, a toad and a crow.

Answer:
A wonderful bird is the peacock,
He spreads his wings like a colorful frock.
He can dance,
And he can prance,
Till someone gives him a knock.

There once was an ape in a zoo
Who looked out through the bars and saw you
Do you think it's fair
To give poor apes a scare?
I think it's a mean thing to do.

There was an Old Man with a beard
Who said, "It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!"
