there was an old man from Capri

there was an old man from Capri
who somehow had twisted his knee
It’s not a big deal,
he said with a squeal,
I’ll walk with the limb of a tree!

oh no! said sis one, is it true?

oh no! said sis one, is it true?
oh yes, said sis two, I’m quite blue
the cat ate the rat
and the whiskers he spat
but his tail is now hanging askew!

great minds, sister said, think alike

great minds, sister said, think alike
oh yes, sister said from her bike
the problems we caused
brought mom to a pause
she said she should jump off a dike!

There was an old man from London
who had a left foot but no right one
It’s no matter he said
I’m not made of lead —
I just hop twice as fast when I run

there once were some kittens born in a barn

there once were some kittens born in a barn
who loved nothing better than playing with yarn
it’s really too bad
said both mom and dad
that they don’t also learn how to darn!
