there was a young man from quebec,
who wrapped both his legs round his neck,
but then he forgot
how to 1 the knot,
and now he is an absolute 2!
peter, peter, 3-eater,
had a wife and failed to keep her
put her into a pumpkin shell
there he kept her very well!
the fair breeze blew,
the white 4 flew;
the 5 followed free,
we were the first to burst—
into the silent sea.
she stood at the bridge at the midnight,
her lips were all aquiver;
she gave a cough, her leg fell off,
and floated down the river!
