1 / There was a small boy of Quebec, / Who was buried in snow to his neck: / When they said, "Are you friz?" / He replied, "Yes I is -- / But we don't call this cold in Quebec!"

2 / There was an old man of St. Bees, / Who was stung in the arm by a wasp: / When they asked, "Does it hurt?" / He replied, "No it doesn't, / But I thought all the while 'twas a Hornet!"
