To market goes Joan for a new copper kettle Her spousie remarkably fond of that metal; "Here is one secondhand, and a pretty one too, And a bargain it is if you think it will do. See, see here's a hole, come stop it" quoth Joan, "For I am in haste and I want to be gone". "I see it, but that's but a trifle" quoth Tink, "And a new one will come to a little more chink".
