And he wanted a hat,



And he wanted a hat, and he wanted some breeks;

And he wanted some nets, or a line and some hooks
For the turtles and things which you read of in books.



And, thinking of this, he remembered a thing
Which he wanted (for water) and that was a spring;
And he thought that to talk to he’d look for, and keep
(If he found it) a goat, or some chickens and sheep.
