 There Was a Young Person of Smyrna

Whose Grandmother threatened to burn her;

 But she seized on the Cat,

 and said, "Granny, burn that!

You incongruous Old Woman of Smyrna!"

There was an Old Man with a nose,

Who said,"If you choose to suppose

That my nose is too long, you are certainly wrong!"

That remarkable Man with a nose.
