You are old, Father William

"You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before,

And have grown most uncommonly fat:

Yet you turned a back somersault in at the door –

Pray, what is the reason of that?"

– You are old, Father William

Robert Southey wrote the original (morally improving) poem, which Alice tries to recite with absurd results. Later today, another verse from the same poem, but in the style of the second series.
