    A candle snuffer
    A man without eyes saw
    plums on a tree
    He neither took the plums off
    Or left plums on,
    And how could that be.
    He had one eye he saw two plums took one plum and left one plum.
    As round as an apple,
    As sharp as a lance,
    If I was on top of it,
    It would carry me to France.
    The moon.
