A Musical Gardener

[“He thought he saw an Albatross]

“He thought he saw an Albatross
That fluttered round the lamp:
He looked again, and found it was
A Penny-Postage-Stamp.
‘You'd best be getting home,’ he said:
‘The nights are very damp!’”

[“He thought he saw a Garden-Door]

“He thought he saw a Garden-Door
That opened with a key:
He looked again, and found it was
A Double Rule of Three:
‘And all its mystery,’ he said,
‘Is clear as day to me!’”
