There once was a hound at the pound.
They’d found it on top of a mound.
The mound was so round,
And so was the hound,
That at first they impounded the mound.
There once was a mound at the hound.
They’d found it on top of a pound.
The mound was so mound,
And so was the round,
That at first they imhounded the pound.
There once was a pound at the mound.
They’d found it on top of a hound.
The pound was so mound,
And so was the mound,
That at first they imrounded the hound.
There once was a hound at the pound.
They’d found it on top of a mound.
The hound was so pound,
And so was the mound,
That at first they immounded the round.
There once was a round at the hound.
They’d found it on top of a mound.
The mound was so hound,
And so was the pound,
That at first they immounded the mound.
There once was a mound at the round.
They’d found it on top of a hound.
The pound was so mound,
And so was the hound,
That at first they impounded the mound.
There once was a mound at the mound.
They’d found it on top of a round.
The hound was so pound,
And so was the mound,
That at first they imhounded the pound.
There once was a pound at the mound.
They’d found it on top of a mound.
The round was so hound,
And so was the pound,
That at first they immounded the hound.
