    Thomas a Tattamus took two Ts,
    To tie two tups to two tall trees,
    To frighten the terrible Thomas a Tattamus!
    Tell me how many Ts there are in all THAT.

        [Tobacco.]

    Make three-fourths of a cross,
        And a circle complete;
    And let two semicircles
        On a perpendicular meet;
    Next add a triangle
        That stands on two feet;
    Next two semicircles,
        And a circle complete.

    She left a bit of her tail in a trap.

        [The man had one eye, and the tree two apples upon it.]

    He went abroad to view the skies;
    He saw a tree with apples on it,
    He took no apples off, yet left no apples on it.

    Pease-porridge hot, pease-porridge cold,
    Pease-porridge in the pot, nine days old.
    Spell me that without a P,
    And a clever scholar you will be.
