THE WINDMILL

Said a hazy little, mazy little, lazy little boy:
“To see the windmill working so must every one annoy;
It can be stopped, I'm sure it can, and I should like to know
What in the world can ever make a windmill want to go?”

Said a quizzy little, frizzy little, busy little girl:
“What can be more delightful than to see a windmill whirl?
It loves to go, I'm sure it does, and hates to hang kerflop;
Now what on earth can ever make a windmill want to stop?”
