Said Simple Simon to the pieman "Sir, I have not any!"
________________________________________________
now that would be because he didn't work much despite doing what he was told & in troubled times wasn't even let down the shops with a penny. You know the pieman didn't give him any either. Even if you can't remember the ryhme or ever learnt the more sophisticated yale sylabus poem with its obvious nods to the nonsense poetry of Edward Lear & the jumblies at sea in a sieve - you know by instinct it was never really soft ball for Simon. Let's look the other way lest we end up parsing Eliza & his hole in the bucket, waste time doing that & we'll never help Jill mend Jack's head.
Simple Simon went a-fishing for to catch a whale;
All the water he had got was in his mother's pail.
Simple Simon went to look if plums grew on a thistle;
He pricked his fingers very much which made poor Simon whistle.
He went for water in a sieve but soon it all fell through;
And now poor Simple Simon bids you all "Adieu"
