guzzler

Edward Lear 33/112
(1812-1888)

A Book of Nonsense
No. 33
There was an Old Person whose habits

There was an Old Person whose habits,
Induced him to feed upon rabbits;
When he'd eaten eighteen,
He turned perfectly green,
Upon which he relinquished those habits.

從前從前有個老頭子,
他習慣吃兔子;
當他吃完第十八隻,
腸胃已經完全不支,
於是他放棄了其餘的兔子。
