Simple Simon

Simple Simon met a pieman

Going to the fair;

Says Simple Simon to the pieman

"Let me taste your ware"

The pieman said to Simple Simon

"Show me first your penny"

Says Simple Simon to the pieman

"Sir, 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 finger very much

Which made poor Simon whistle

Do plums grow on a thistle?

I don't know
