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.

Collecting books is one of my passions,
Especially if they’re Ogden Nash’uns.

Just picked up my swinging 60s print from the local picture framer’s. It’s by John Astrop and Eric Hill (before he created Spot the Dog). Looking better than ever!
