Pieman

Simple Simon 
was the pieman
who worked at the fair

Simple Simon
caught the eye of
a fair haired lady there

said Simon
to the fair hair
come and taste my ware

take a bite
if you like
and tell me of my ware

says Fair Hair
to Simple Simon
tis the worst pie ever tried!

it crossed my eyes
and pruned my face
i thought that i had died

says Simon to Fair Hair
won't you buy a pie
for it only cost a penny?

Fair Hair says Simple Simon
if I had a penny
indeed I still would not buy any
