The Nut Tree

I had a little nut tree

Nothing would it bear,

But a glass of Guiness;

An avocado pear.

A plate of huge escargots;

A pot of caviar;

A large ripe foreign cheese,

In fact,

Nowhere was its par.

 

Such a fare it bore me

Made me smack my lips:

But in the end I cut it down - It wouldn't bear me chips!
