There was a Young Girl of Majorca,
Whose aunt was a very fast walker;
She walked seventy miles,
And leaped fifteen stiles,
Which astonished that Girl of Majorca.

Spade against a bull
There was a Young Lady of Hull,
Who was chased by a virulent Bull;
But she seized on a spade,
And called out--"Who's afraid!"
Which distracted that virulent Bull.
E.Lear, 1846
Smile that cow away
There was an Old Man who said, "How,--
Shall I flee from this horrible Cow?
I will sit on this stile,
And continue to smile,
Which may soften the heart of that Cow."
E.Lear, 1846
