Three Wise Men of gotham


Found a little blank space in Clarion alley, posted these three items I found on the ground.

Three Wise Men of Gotham
Went to sea in a sieve
 
I appeared to have conflated the old nursery rhyme with Edward Lear's "The Jumblies", the three wise men of Gotham actually went to sea in a bowl, it was the Jumblies who went to see in sieve.

Old Man with a Beard

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
