Narration: There was one who was famed for the number of things
|
He forgot when he entered the ship:
|
His umbrella, his watch, all his jewels and rings,
|
And the clothes he had bought for the trip.
|
He had forty-tow boxes all carefully packed,
|
With his name painted clearly on each;
|
But since he omitted to mention the fact,
|
They were all left behind on the beach.
|
|
He came as a Baker; but owned, when too late-
|
And it drove the poor Bellman half mad-
|
He could only bake Bridecake -for which, I may state,
|
No materials were to be had.
|
|
I came as the Baker on this escapade,
|
I knead the dough, but I can't look after the bread,
|
The Banker does it instead,
|
And although I never feel afraid,
|
Somehow I know
|
It could be the single worst mistake I've ever made,
|
To come as the Baker on this escapade.
