Simple Simon

Simple Simon met a pieman,

Going to the fair;

Says Simple Simon to the pieman,

"Let me taste your ware."

Says the pieman to Simple Simon,

"Do you mean to pay?"

Says Simon, "Yes, of course I do!"

And then he ran away.

Simple Simon went a-fishing

For to catch a whale:

All the water he had got

Was in his mother's pail.
