Simple Simon

Simple Simon met a pieman,

 

Going to the fair;

Said Simple Simon to the pieman,

 

"Let me taste your ware."

 

Said the pieman unto Simon,

 

"Show me first your penny."

Said Simple Simon to the pieman,

 

"Indeed I have not any."

 

Simple Simon went a-fishing,

 

For to catch a whale;

 

All the water he had got

 

Was in his mother's pail.

 

Simple Simon went to look,

If plums grew on a thistle;

 

He pricked his fingers very much,

 

Which made poor Simon whistle.
