THE NANTUCKET TRILOGY (LIMERICKS)

 There was an old man from Nantucket

Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
    But his daughter, named Nan,
    Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket. (Nan took it)

But he followed the pair to Pawtucket,
The young man and the girl with the bucket;
    And he said to the man,
    He was welcome to Nan,
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket. (Pa --Dad-- took it)

Followed later by:

Then the pair followed Pa to Manhasset,
Where he still held the cash as an asset,
    But Nan and the man
    Stole the money and ran,
And as for the bucket, Manhasset. (Man --the lover-- has it)
