Instead of one hen, Ben has ten!

A Fellow Named Sig

Sig and the pig are dancing a jig!

A Seafaring Bug

Who set sail in a leaky old tug

It sank with a glug-glug-glug-glug!

Glug!

It Was Dry on the African Plain

Lived an unhappy bride and her groom

So the lass put a "B" where the "G" used to be

And she swept the place clean with her broom
