It has a head, body, foot and spine
If you dissect it you will find its appendix
Inside of its jacket between the sleeves

An eminent professor
A man with patience
His name is Sir John
Guess his profession and be gone

An exquisite bird can not be seen or heard
Adorned in crimson matching cap her beads are black
A regal lady haunts the woods in flowering buds she likes to flaunt
In meadows found all around
On the ground and grassy knoll

Rows of teeth in a bed
Scented tears sanguine red
Petticoats of perfumed lace
Lift this veil find the clue
Mind your finger as you do

Be he hard
Be he long
Be he short
Let it be
It will be
