      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,
      "Show me first your penny."
      Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
      "Indeed I have not any."

      Simple Simon went a fishing
      For to catch a whale;
      But all the water he could find
      Was in his mother's pail!
