There was an Old Person of Ewell,
Who chiefly subsisted on gruel;
But to make it more nice,
He inserted some mice,
Which refreshed that Old Person of Ewell.

There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,
Who never had more than a penny;
He spent all that money,
In onions and honey,
That wayward Old Man of Kilkenny.

There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a Bee;
When they said, "Does it buzz?"
He replied, "Yes, it does!
"It's a regular brute of a Bee!"

There was an Old Man of Melrose,
Who walked on the tips of his toes;
But they said, "It ain't pleasant,
To see you at present,
You stupid Old Man of Melrose."

Welcome to a new Twindie.net regular. I like people. The act of getting to know someone is so exhilarating. Thus, Twindie.net devised 8 questions to ask cool people. These questions will remain basically identical for each participant. First up is ExMi. She’s quite the Twitter aficionado and has two great blogs: Expensive Mistakes and Cheap Thrills and A Bad Mommy Blog. It might not always be my cup of tea, but some of her anecdotes are quips are fun! Oh, and her favourite band is Breaking Benjamin and she likes nerds.

There was an Old Man of Peru,
Who never knew what he should do;
So he tore off his hair,
And behaved like a bear,
That intrinsic Old Man of Peru.

There was a Young Lady whose chin,
Resembled the point of a pin:
So she had it made sharp,
And purchased a harp,
And played several tunes with her chin.

There was an Old Lady of Chertsey,
Who made a remarkable curtsey;
She twirled round and round,
Till she sunk underground,
Which distressed all the people of Chertsey.

Whose Grandmother threatened to burn her;
But she seized on the Cat,
And said, "Granny, burn that!
