[Illustration]

    There was an Old Man of Peru. 
    Who never knew what he should do;
    So he tore off his hair, and behaved like a bear,
    That intrinsic Old Man of Peru.

[Illustration]

    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.”

[Illustration]

    There was a Young Lady whose eyes
    Were unique as to color and size;
    When she opened them wide, people all turned aside,
    And started away in surprise.

[Illustration]

    There was a Young Lady of Ryde,
    Whose shoe-strings were seldom untied;
    She purchased some clogs, and some small spotty Dogs,
    And frequently walked about Ryde.

[Illustration]

    There was a Young Lady whose bonnet
    Came untied when the birds sate upon it;
    But she said, “I don’t care! all the birds in the air
    Are welcome to sit on my bonnet!”
