I'll tell thee everything I can	A
There's little to relate	B
I saw an aged aged man	A
A sitting on a gate	B
'Who are you aged man ' I said	C
'And how is it you live '	D
And his answer trickled through my head	C
Like water through a sieve	E
	-
He said 'I look for butterflies	F
That sleep among the wheat	G
I make them into mutton pies	F
And sell them in the street	G
I sell them unto men ' he said	C
'Who sail on stormy seas	H
And that's the way I get my bread	C
A trifle if you please '	-
	-
But I was thinking of a plan	A
To dye one's whiskers green	I
And always use so large a fan	A
That they could not be seen	I
So having no reply to give	E
To what the old man said	C
I cried 'Come tell me how you live '	-
And thumped him on the head	C
	-
His accents mild took up the tale	J
He said 'I go my ways	K
And when I find a mountain rill	L
I set it in a blaze	K
And thence they make a stuff they call	M
Rowland's Macassar Oil	N
Yet twopence halfpenny is all	M
They give me for my toil '	-
	-
But I was thinking of a way	O
To feed one's self on batter	P
And so go on from day to day	O
Getting a little fatter	P
I shook him well from side to side	Q
Until his face was blue	R
'Come tell me how you live ' I cried	Q
'And what it is you do '	-
	-
He said 'I hunt for haddocks' eyes	F
Among the heather bright	S
And work them into waistcoat buttons	T
In the silent night	S
And these I do not sell for gold	U
Or coin of silvery shine	V
But for a copper halfpenny	V
And that will purchase nine	V
	-
'I sometimes dig for buttered rolls	W
Or set limed twigs for crabs	X
I sometimes search the grassy knolls	X
For wheels of hansom cabs	X
And that's the way' he gave a wink	Y
'By which I get my wealth	Z
And very gladly will I drink	Y
Your honor's noble health '	-
	-
I heard him then for I had just	A2
Completed my design	V
To keep the Menai bridge from rust	A2
By boiling it in wine	V
I thanked him much for telling me	B2
The way he got his wealth	Z
But chiefly for his wish that he	B2
Might drink my noble health	Z
	-
And now if e'er by chance I put	C2
My fingers into glue	R
Or madly squeeze a right hand foot	C2
Into a left hand shoe	R
Or if I drop upon my toe	D2
A very heavy weight	B
I weep for it reminds me so	D2
Of that old man I used to know	D2
Whose look was mild whose speech was slow	D2
Whose hair was whiter than the snow	D2
Whose face was very like a crow	D2
With eyes like cinders all aglow	D2
Who seemed distracted with his woe	D2
Who rocked his body to and fro	D2
And muttered mumblingly and low	D2
As if his mouth were full of dough	D2
Who snorted like a buffalo	D2
That summer evening long ago	D2
A sitting on a gate	B
