The One Legged Stool

There was a foolish lad, who had a one legged stool A stool which he threw away For within his mind for a stool to be The legs on the floor must total at least three A milk maid came by, that stool caught her eye, she cried out “oh me oh my” What a fine one legged stool some fool threw away She picked it up and to the barn she went for to milk the cow Moved up close, spread her feet apart; set herself right down Upon that one legged stool there she sat She counted it out; the number of legs on the floor She added it up and to her delight Found that one and two do indeed make three
