Lear, Edward, 1812-1888

"Nonsense Song"


h!
Long-legged heron!

I
[Illustration]
I was an inkstand,
Which stood on a table,
With a nice pen to write with
When we are able.
i!
Neat little inkstand!

J
[Illustration]
J was a jug,
So pretty and white,
With fresh water in it
At morning and night.
j!
Nice little jug!

K
[Illustration]
K was a kingfisher:
Quickly he flew,
So bright and so pretty!--
Green, purple, and blue.
k!
Kingfisher blue!
L
[Illustration]
L was a lily,
So white and so sweet!
To see it and smell it
Was quite a nice treat.
l!
Beautiful lily!

M
[Illustration]
M was a man,
Who walked round and round;
And he wore a long coat
That came down to the ground.
m!
Funny old man!

N
[Illustration]
N was a nut
So smooth and so brown!
And when it was ripe,
It fell tumble-dum-down.
n!
Nice little nut!

O
[Illustration]
O was an oyster,
Who lived in his shell:
If you let him alone,
He felt perfectly well.
