Question: Can Anyone Help Me Find The Name Of This Poem!?
My Mam Had to do a poem in primary school and she cant remember The name of it!.
One part of the poem is:his pipe was always going out and then he'd have to search about in all his pockets and he'd mouth "Oh Deary Me and musha Now"

Is there anyone out there who would have done a simalar poem in school!?

He was as old as old can be,
His little eyes could scarcely see,
His mouth was sunken in between
His nose and chin, and he was lean
And twisted up and withered quite
So that he couldn’t walk aright!.

His pipe was always going out,
And then he’d have to search about
In all his pockets, and he’d mow
-O, deary me! and, musha now
And then he’d light his pipe, and then
He’d let it go clean out again!.

He couldn’t dance or jump or run,
Or ever have a bit of fun
Like me and Susan, when we shout
And jump and throw ourselves about:

- But when he laughed, then you could see
He was as young as young could be!
