Link to further information

     There was a young lady of Tring,
     There was an old fellow of Kello;
     And she - she did nothing but sing,
     And he - he did nothing but bellow:
          Now I think(and don't you?)
          That the best thing to do
     Were to marry these two:
Then maybe the one would sing no more in Tring,
     Or the other not bellow in Kello.
