There was a man, and he had naught
This old nursery rhyme is called “There was a man, and he had naught” — enjoy your reading!
“There was a man, and he had naught,
And robbers came to rob him;
He crept up to the chimney pot,
And then they thought they had him.
But he got down on t'other side,
And then they could not find him;
He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days,
And never look'd behind him.”
