Q was a Quince that hung
Upon a garden tree;
Papa he brought it with him home,
And ate it with his tea.

P was a little Pig,
Went out to take a walk;
Papa he said, "If Piggy dead,
He'd all turn into Pork!"

O was an Owl who flew
All in the dark away,
Papa said, "What an owl you are!
Why don't you fly by day?"

N was a Nut that grew
High up upon a tree;
Papa, who could not reach it, said,
"That's much too high for me!"

M was a dish of mince;
It looked so good to eat!
Papa, he quickly ate it up,
And said, "This is a treat!"

But when the wick was lit,
Papa he said, "This Light ain't good!
I cannot read a bit!"

Papa he saw it fly
Above a thousand chimney pots,
And all about the sky.

Of which Papa ate part;
But all the rest he took away
And stuffed into a tart.

I was an Inkstand new,
Papa he likes to use it;
He keeps it in his pocket now,
For fear that he should lose it.

H was Papa's new Hat;
He wore it on his head;
Outside it was completely black,
But inside it was red.
