Simple Simon met a pieman
Going to the fair;
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Let me taste your ware."
Says the pieman to Simple Simon,
"Show me first your penny."
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Indeed, I have not any."
Simple Simon went a-fishing
For to catch a whale;
But all the water he had got
Was in his mother's pail.
He went to catch a dickybird,
And thought he could not fail,
Because he had a pinch of salt
To put upon its tail. |
