Young Tommy was reckless chap
As ever you did spy;
He crept into the pantry once
And ate a pot of lye-
No! No! 1 mean a lot of pie.
He wept with pain and doubled up
As tight as any clam
"Oh, dear! l feel as bad as when
l ate that jot of lamb
Dear me! I mean that lot of JAM"
This story gets SO mixed at times
Under my very eyes,
I'll stop. So far what I have said
Seems like lack of pies.
No, no! I mean a pack of lies.-St
Nicholas.
