Mrs Jaypher
Mrs Jaypher found a wafer
Which she stuck upon a note;
This she took and gave the cook.
Then she went and bought a boat,
Which she paddled down the stream,
Shouting, ‘Ice produces cream,
Beer when churned produces butter!
Henceforth all the words I utter
Distant ages thus shall note -
’From the Jaypher Wisdom-Boat.'
Mrs Jaypher said, 'It’s safer
If you’ve lemons in your head;
First to eat, a pound of meat,
And then to go at once to bed.
Eating meat is half the battle,
Till you hear the Lemons rattle!
If you don’t, you’ll always moan,
In a Lemoncolly tone;
For there’s nothing half so dreadful,
as Lemons in your head.
