|

There was an old person of Shields,
Who frequented the vallies and fields;
All the mice and the cats, and the snakes and
the rats,
Followed after that person of Shields. |

|
There was an old person of Barnes,
Whose garments were covered with darns;
But they said, "Without doubt, you will soon wear
them out,
You luminous person of Barnes!" |
