EDWARD LEAR (1812-1888)

THERE WAS AN OLD MAN OF THE NILE, WHO SHARPENED HIS NAILS WITH A FILE; TLL HE CUT OFF HIS THUMBS, AND SAID CALMLY, 'THIS COMES - OF SHARPENING ONE'S NAILS WITH A FILE!' THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY OF SWEDEN, WHO WENT BY THE SLOW TRAIN TO WEEDON; WHEN THEY CRIED, 'WEEDON STATION!' SHE MADE NO OBSERVATION, BUT THOUGHT SHE SHOULD GO BACK TO SWEDEN. THERE WAS AN OLD PERSON OF DOVER, WHO RUSHED THROUGH A FIELD OF BLUE CLOVER; BUT SOME VERY LARGE BEES, STUNG HIS NOSE AND HIS KNEES, SO HE VERY SOON WENT BACK TO DOVER.
