I buzzed my own buzzer, I wanted to know
Who lived in a flat just like my one, and so
I answered my buzzer when I heard it buzz,
And found out the sort of a person who does.

There once was a girl, namely Goldilocks,
Who couldn’t unlock some old moldilocks,
For Daddy Bear’s door
Has padlocks galore,
Which every night I am toldilocks.

I wandered lonely as a cloud,
Just like old Willie Wordsworth,
And saw some golden daffodillies
Though not so numerous as Willie’s,
But maybe just a third’s worth.
