Lewis Carroll - A Strange Wild Song
Work rating: Medium

He thought he saw an Elephant,
That practised on a fife:
He looked again, and found it was
A letter from his wife.
`At length I realise,` he said,
The bitterness of Life!`

He thought he saw a Buffalo
Upon the chimney-piec e:
He looked again, and found it was
His Sister`s Husband`s Niece.
`Unless you leave this house,` he said,
"I`ll send for the Police!`

He thought he saw a Rattlesnake
That questioned him in Greek:
He looked again, and found it was
The Middle of Next Week.
`The one thing I regret,` he said,
`Is that it cannot speak!`

He thought he saw a Banker`s Clerk
Descending from the bus:
He looked again, and found it was
A Hippopotamus .
`If this should stay to dine,` he said,
`There won`t be much for us!`

He thought he saw a Kangaroo
That worked a coffee-mill: 
He looked again, and found it was
A Vegetable-Pi ll.
`Were I to swallow this,` he said,
`I should be very ill!`

He thought he saw a Coach-and-Fo ur
That stood beside his bed:
He looked again, and found it was
A Bear without a Head.
`Poor thing,` he said, `poor silly thing!
It`s waiting to be fed!`

He thought he saw an Albatross
That fluttered round the lamp:
He looked again, and found it was
A Penny-Postag e Stamp.
`You`d best be getting home,` he said:
`The nights are very damp!`

He thought he saw a Garden-Door
That opened with a key:
He looked again, and found it was
A Double Rule of Three:
`And all its mystery,` he said,
`Is clear as day to me!`

He thought he saw a Argument
That proved he was the Pope:
He looked again, and found it was
A Bar of Mottled Soap.
`A fact so dread,` he faintly said,
`Extinguishe s all hope!`
