Others are perplexed about the latest picture show.
But there is really only just one thing that I'd like to know.

So now I'm asking you.

The cat annoys the dog
The dog annoys your Sunday hat.
But, what kind of a noise annoys an oyster

What kind of a noise annoys an oyster?
I've asked each one I knew
From here to Kalamazoo.

Now, simple things annoy a lot of simple folks, you see.
And that's most likely why this question is annoying me.
