    This is the tale of Timothy bright,
    The strange little man who did nothing right
    "Good morning" he'd say when 'twas afternoon
    Hed eat soup with a fork instead of a spoon.
    2
    At cricket he'd play with a whip not a bat He would wash without water or soap, think of that
    His shoes he would always put on the wrong way
    And he could'nt tell mustard from meat
    3
    The latest mistake is the talk of the town
    His stocking at Christmas was hung upside down.
