quoted in a review of the work of Edward Lear, by Brad Leithauser in NYRB
There was a Young Lady of Norway,
Who casually sat in a doorway;
When the door squeezed her flat,
She exclaimed, "What of that?"
This courageous Young Lady of Norway.
Edward Lear
There was an Archdeacon who said:
"May I take off my gaiters in bed?"
But the Bishop said "No,
Wherever you go
You must wear them until you are dead."
Anonymous
The Bishop elect of Hong Kong
Had a dong that was twelve inches long.
He thought the spectators
Were admiring his gaiters
When he went to the gents. He was wrong.
