Mrs. and Mr. Buckley
Awoke to the sound of a thunk.
Mrs. and Mr. Buckley
Opened their seaman's trunk.
Mr. and Mrs. were lucky
To find what the trunk had to hide:
A spyglass from old grandpa Buckley
And four sacks with walnuts inside.
To better enjoy their new treasure
They climbed to the roof with their booty
And wielded their spyglass with pleasure
For the view from up there was a beauty.
Then the Mr. sat down on a tile
And the Mrs. lay down on a ledge
And they gobbled the walnuts in style.
Tossing the shells off the edge.
