    A greedy young feller called meller
    Ate ten hot-cross buns in a celler.
    The pain 'neath his vest.
    Wouldn't give him a rest,
    And now his a hot cross young feller.

    There was an ostrich who said "What".
    Do I care if my tea's strong or hot.
    My neck's such a length.
    That tea looses its strength.
    And is cold when it reaches the spot.
