There was an Old Man who supposed,
That the street door was partially closed;
But some very large rats,
Ate his coats and his hats,
While that futile old gentleman dozed.

C'era un Vecchio che supponeva,
Che il portone di strada fosse parzialmente chiuso;
Ma alcuni topi molto grandi,
Mangiato i suoi cappotti e i suoi cappelli,
Mentre quel vecchio gentiluomo futile sonnecchiava.
