There was a girl of Asturias
Whose temper was frantic and furious.
She used to throw eggs
At the butcher boy's legs--
A habit unpleasant, but curious.

A wicked witch named Daisy
Just sits--she's very lazy.
She has no cares,
She sits and stares,
Some claim that Daisy's crazy!

There was a young lady named Maud,
A very deceptive young fraud;
She was never able
To sit at the table,
But out in the pantry--O Lord!

There was an old man from Peru
Who dreamt he was eating his shoe.
He awoke in the night
In a terrible fright--
And found it was perfectly true!

A monster who looks like a bear
Fell soundly asleep in a chair.
He woke with loud screaming
Because he was dreaming
That barbers has shaved off his hair!

There was a young wife from Antigua
Who remarked to her spouse, "What a pigua!"
He retorted, "My queen,
Is it manners you mean?
Or do you refer to my figua?"

There was a lady from Guam
Who said, "Now the ocean's so calm
I will swim for a lark."
She encountered a shark--
Let us now sing the 90th psalm.

There was a young lady of Lynn
Who was so excessively thin
That when she essayed
To drink lemonade--
She slipped through the straw and fell in!

A very ugly monstrocity
Wanted a look of ferocity.
With his nose in the air
He walked like a bear,
Which only suggested pomposity.

There are monster musicians galore.
Someday there'll be quite a few more.
Their numbers increased
And none are deceased,
They now total ten thousand and four.

There was a young lady named Banker
Who slept while the ship lay at anchor;
She awoke in dismay
When she heard the mate say:
"Now hoist up the topsheet and spanker!"

There was a young person named Ned
Who dined before going to bed
On lobster and ham
And salad and jam,
And when he awoke he was dead!
