Rhyme and Reason
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She had so many children
She didn't know what to do
But try as she would she could never detect which was the cause and which the effect

He gazed and gazed and gazed and gazed,
Amazed, amazed, amazed, amazed
Brave English language, you are strong as trees,
Yet intricate and stately
Thus one
Through branches clear-embroidered stars
Through the lattice rushes the south wind, dense With fumes of the flowery frankincense From hawthorn blossoming thickly;
And gold is shower'd on grass unshorn,
And poppy-fire on shuddering corn,
With May-dew flooded and flush'd wit...
If wild my breast and sore my pride, I bask in dreams of suicide;
If cool my heart and high my head, I think, "How lucky are the dead
"
Who was there had seen us Wouldn't bid him run
Heavy lay between us All our sires had done
There he was, a-springing Of a pious race,
Setting hags a-swinging In a market-place;
Yellow bike, grinning sun.
My first ride, your helping arms -
Caring daddy, busy mom -
Now let go, the journey starts.
