From the whimsical works of the honorable Edward Lear. Taken from the easy to read, fun to peruse and utterly ludicrous:  Book of Nonsense.

There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared!--
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!"

To the great-grandchildren, grand-nephews, and grand-nieces of Edward, 13th Earl of Derby, This book of drawings and Verses (The greater part of which were originally made and composed for their parents,) is dedicated by the author, Edward Lear (Source: Gutenberg)
