  2. "You are old," said the youth, "and your jaws are too weak
    For anything tougher than suet;
    Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak—
    Pray, how did you manage to do it?"

    "In my youth," said his father, "I took to the law,
    And argued each case with my wife;
    And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw,
    Has lasted the rest of my life."

    "You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose
    That your eye was as steady as ever;
    Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose—
    What made you so awfully clever?"

    "I have answered three questions, and that is enough,"
    Said his father; "don't give yourself airs!
    Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
    Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs!"

    ©Lewis Carroll, 1865

      @anian: AiW #76 is currently in review. :-) The complete OLD FATHER WILLIAM poem was too long for the info-section, it got cut off, therefore I split it in half and designed a new puzzle for the first part. Have a little patience, it should be online soon. Thanks for playing. :-)
