Stan McCann
A thinking young man
Thought, "Hot sardines are better!"
So, off he ran
And bought a can
Of sardines for his dinner
Stan, heated the can
In a frying pan
Full of water and let it simmer
Then, taking the can
From the frying pan
He opened it up for dinner
On a chair sat Stan
With fork and can
Sprinkling his salt and pepper
But, as he began
To eat from the can
He said, "Cold sardines are better!" Moral: What may seem best, is not always best, and
sometimes it's hard to know what's better! This Modern Day Nursery Rhyme has been published with the kind permission of the author, Eddie O'Hara. The poem was composed as an example of an Australian outback poem - we hope that you enjoy it as much as we did! |
