Early Space Travel
There was an old woman tossed up in a basket
Nineteen times as high as the moon;
Where she was going I couldn't but ask it,...
For in her hand she carried a broom.
There was an old woman tossed up in a basket
Nineteen times as high as the moon;
Where she was going I couldn't but ask it,...
For in her hand she carried a broom.
Old woman, old woman, old woman, quoth I,
O whither, O whither, O whither so high,
To brush the cobwebs off the sky!
Shall I go with thee? Aye, by and by.

The Hiccup Fairy
'Twas the Hiccup Fairy,
That hiccetycupping blonde,
'Twas the Hiccup Fairy,...
Touched me (hiccup) with her wand,
So for every hiccup
I gave her a kick up -
She landed in Belchy Pond.

A Farm Picture
Through the ample open door of the peaceful country barn,
A sunlit pasture field, with cattle and horses feeding;
And haze, and vista, and the far horizon, fading away.
WALT WHITMAN
