1 / There was an old man of Tarentum / Who gnashed his false teeth till he bent 'em; / And when asked for the cost / Of what he had lost, / Said, "I really can't tell, for I rent 'em!"
2 / A lady there was of Antigua, / Who said to her spouse, "What a pig you are!" / He answered, "My queen / Is it manners you mean, / Or do you refer to my figure?"
3 / There were three young women of Birmingham, / And I know a sad story concerning 'em; / They stuck needles and pins / In the right rev'rend shins / Of the Bishop engaged in confirming 'em!
