Do you remember an Inn,
Miranda?
Do you remember an Inn?
And the tedding and the spreading
...
Who played with a Dangerous Toy, and suffered a Catastrophe of considerable Dimensions
When George's Grandmamma was told
That George had been as good as gold,

And do not call him names,
As 'Slimy skin,' or 'Polly-wog,'
Or likewise 'Ugly James,'

The moon on my left and the dawn on my right.

His stockings or his pinafore:

You cannot make him out at all,
But many sanguine people hope
To see him through a microscope.
