First Line: There was a young fellow, begad
Last Line: And was eaten alive by a sun-dew.
Subject(s): Wit & Humor


There was a young fellow, begad,
Who hadn't, but wished that he had --
God only knows what,
But he blasphemed a lot
And showed he was generally mad.

There was a young man from Vermont,
Who voted for Bryan and Want
And argued demented,
But now he's repented,
So be easy on him and Vermont.

There was a young poet who tried
Making boxes when preoccupied;
One day he made one
And when he got done,
He had nailed himself on the inside.

There was a man went for to harma
Quiet but human old farmer:
Now he wishes he'd known
To let folks alone,
For this is the doctrine of Karma.

There was a young man moribund, who
Met with a fate few or none do
He went out one day
In his usual way
And was eaten alive by a sun-dew.
