	My heart went hop, my heart went thump,
	I filled the kettle at the pump.

	Then someone came to me and said:
	`The little fishes are in bed...'

	I said to him, I said it plain,
	`Then you must wake them up again!'

	I said it very loud and clear,
	I went and shouted in his ear.

	But he was very stiff and proud,
	He said `You need'nt shout so loud'

	And he was very proud and stiff,
	He said `I'll go and wake them if...'

	I took a bottle(?) from the shelf
	and went to wake them up my self.

	But when I found the door was locked
	I pulled and pushed and kicked and knocked,

	And when I found the door was shut
	I tried to turn the handle but...

"The end." said Humpty Dumpty.  (aka Lewis Carroll)

And how about:

	I'll tell thee everything I can,
	There's little to relate,

	I met an aged aged man
	a-sitting on a gate.

	`Who are you, aged man,' I said
	`and how is it you live?'

	And his answer trickled through my head
	Like water through a seive...
