One day a funny kind of man came walking down this street,   he wore a shoe upon his head and hats upon his feet.   He raised the shoe and smiled at me, his manners were polite,   But never had I seen before such a funny sounding sight.      He said, "Allow me to present your highness wit h a rose"   And taking out a currant bun, he held it to my nose.   I staggered back against the wall and then I answered, "Well,   I never saw a rose with such a funny looking smell.      He then began tol sing a song -mm - and sat down on the ground,   You never heard in all your life such a funny feeling sound.   "My friend, why do you werar two hats upon your feet ?" I said,   He turned the other way and hopped home on his head.
