| A | B |
| Once upon a time | I caught a little rhyme |
| I set it on the floor | but it ran right out the door |
| I chased it on my bicycle | but it melted to an icicle |
| I scooped it up in my hat | but it turned into a cat |
| I caught it by the tail | but it stretched into a whale |
| I followed it in a boat | but it changed into a goat |
| When I fed it tin and paper | it became a tall shyscraper |
| Then it grew into a kite | and flew out of sight |
