No brains lead his feet
And never had so much fun

Slide21“There was a Young Lady of Dorking,
Who bought a large bonnet for walking;
But its
colour
and size,
So bedazzled her eyes,
That she very soon went back to Dorking.”
Slide22“Little Miss
Muffet
Sat on a
tuffet
,
Eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss
Muffet
away.”
Slide23There once was a young lady named
bright
Whose speed was much faster than light
She set out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night.
Slide24There was a Young Lady whose
chin
Resembled the point of a pin:
So she had it made sharp,
And purchased a harp,
And played several tunes with her chin.
Slide25A bather whose clothing was
strewed
By winds that left her quite nude
Saw a man come along
And unless we are wrong
You expected this line to be lewd.
