     There was an old grocer of Goring
     Had a butter assistant named Green,
     Who sank through a hole in the flooring
     And never was afterwards seen.
          Did he look in his cellar?
          Did he miss the poor fellow?
          Not at all. Quite phlegmatic,
          He retired to an attic,
And there watched the moon in her glory o’er Goring —
     A sight not infrequently seen.
