We had a little mincer— Nothing would it do But mince the meat up finely And make a splendid stew.

We had a little cookboy Who liked to see it mince.

He minced with it on Thursday.

We haven’t used it since.

We had a soda syphon That syphoned very well.

The drinks we served the passer- Were really rather swell.

We had a little cookboy Who tried it by himself.

He tried it on a Saturday. . .

It now stands on a shelf.

We had a small alarm clock Which had a good alarm.

We had a silent primus That acted like a charm.

We had a brand new thermos, A special latching door — We had a little cookboy. . .

Need we say any more!
