There once was a boy in a teapot
I didn’t know why he was there
I opened the lid of the teapot
And spotted the little boy’s hair
“Hey!” said the boy, “Can you help me?”
I heard his small voice through the spout
I tugged on his hair to extract him
But his head was too big to come out
I said, “I will go fetch a hammer…
There’s one in the basement, I’ve heard.”
But while I searched beneath, the boy used his teeth
And pecked his way out like a bird.
