    (continued from previous page)
    one had a fiddle
    the other had a drum
    and the other had a pancake
    stuck to his bum.
    Ladies, gentlemen and fellow countrymen
    I came here today
    to stand tomorrow
    to tell you what my two eyes heard
    and my mouth saw
    a living lion and he was stuffed with straw
    and he was eating boiled potatoes raw.
