THE MAN WHO JUMPED, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "there was a man, he went mad / he jumped into a paper bag" Last Line: He fell down and broke his bones | |||
THERE was a man, he went mad, He jumped into a paper bag; The paper bag was too narrow, He jumped into a wheelbarrow; The wheelbarrow took on fire, He jumped into a cow byre; The cow byre was too nasty, He jumped into an apple pasty; The apple pasty was too sweet, He jumped into Chester-le-Street; Chester-le-Street was full of stones, He fell down and broke his bones. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
