Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEE FFGGHHII| I knew a little boy not very long ago | A |
| Who was as bright and happy as any boy you know | A |
| He had an only fault and you will all agree | B |
| That from a fault like this a boy himself might free | B |
| - | |
| I wonder who is there oh see now why is this | C |
| And Oh where are they going and Tell me what it is | D |
| Ah which and why and who and what and where and when | E |

| - | |
| He seldom stopped to think he almost always knew | F |
| The answer to the questions that around the world he threw | F |
| To children seeking knowledge a quick reply we give | G |
| But answering what he asked was pouring water through a sieve | G |
| Yet you'll admit his fate was as sad as it was strange | H |
| Our eyes we hardly trusted who slowly saw him change | H |
| More curious grew his head stemlike his limbs and hark | I |
| He was at last a mere interrogation mark | I |
