AAIL Poetry

There once was a man from Nantucket

Who kept all his cash in a bucket.

But his daughter, named Nan,

Ran away with a man,

And as for the bucket, Nantucket.”

When Silly Sally irons her clothes, they come out looking awful.

She did not read the label and her iron was meant to waffle.

Delightful display

Snowdrops bow their pure white heads

To the sun's glory.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;

Coral is far more red than her lips' red;

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;

If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damasked, red and white,

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;

And in some perfumes is there more delight

Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know

That music hath a far more pleasing sound;

I grant I never saw a goddess go;

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare.

Yankee Doodle Song

“Yankee Doodle went to town

A-using on a pony

He stuck a feather in his hat

And known as it macaroni

Chorus:

Yankee Doodle, preserve it up

Yankee Doodle Dandy

Mind the track and the step

and with the ladies be handy!”

Breathless with adoration; the broad sun

Is sinking down in its tranquility;" Wordsworth, "Beauteous Evening"
