Adventures of Isabel__________ By Orden Nash
Adventures of Isabel
Isabel met an enormous bear;
Isabel,Isabel, didn't care.
The bear was hungry,the bear was revenous,
The bear's big mouth was cruel and cavernous.
The bear said, Isabel, great to meet you,
How do, Isabel, now i'll eat you!
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry;
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She washed her hand and straightened her hair up,
Then Isabel quitely ate the bear up.
Once on a night as black as pitch
Isabel met a wickedold witch.
The witch's face was crossed and wrinkled,
The witch's gums with teeth were sprinkled.
Ho, ho, Isabel! the old witch crowed,
I'll turn you into an ugly toad
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry;
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She showed no rage and she showed no rancor,
But she turned the witch into milk and drank her.
Isabel met a hideous giant,
Isabel continued self-reliant
The giant was hairy, the giant was horrid,
He had one eye in the middle of his forehead
Good morning, Isabel, the giant said,
I'll grind your bones to make my bread.
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry;
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She nipped the zwieback that she always fed off,
And when it was gone, she cut the giant's head off.
Isabel met a troublesome doctor,
He punched and poked till he really shocked her.
The doctor's talk was of coughs and chills,
And the doctor's satched bulged with pills.
The doctor said unto Isabel,
Swallow this it will make you well.
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry;
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She took those pills from the pill-concocter,
And Isabel calmly cured the doctor.
