3. The Cock That Crowed In The Morn



There was an old man,
And he had a cock,
That crowed in the morn
And awoke the old man.

But there came a cat
And ate the cock.
That crowed in the mom
And awoke the old man.

And there came a fox
And ate the cat,
That ate the cock,
That crowed in the mom
And awoke the old man.

And there came a wolf
And ate the fox.
That ate the cat,
That ate the cock,
That crowed in the mom
And awoke the old man.

And there came a lion
And ate the wolf,
That ate the fox,
That ate the cat.
That ate the cock.
That crowed in the morn
And awoke the old man.

And there came a river
And drowned the lion,
That ate the wolf.
That ate the fox.
That ate the cat.
That ate the cock,
That crowed in the morn
And awoke the old man.
