TWO COMICAL FOLK, by ANONYMOUS First Line: In a cottage in fife / lived a man and his wife Last Line: "helped, with drinking, to keep them alive" | |||
IN a cottage in Fife Lived a man and his wife, Who, believe me, were comical folk; For, to people's surprise, They both saw with their eyes, And their tongues moved whenever they spoke. When quite fast asleep, I've been told that to keep Their eyes open they could not contrive; They walked on their feet, And 'twas thought what they eat Helped, with drinking, to keep them alive. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
