    the Castlegar boy.

    There was a man who sowed a garden ful of seed
    When the seed began to grow
    Like a garden-ful of snow
    When the snow began to melt
    Like a buckle and a belt
    When the belt began to break
    Like a ship on a lake
    When the ship began to fly
    Like a needle in the sky
    When the sky began to fall
    Lord have mercy on us all.
