I'm not sure if this would be my favorite poem to tell students, I found it to be somewhat interesting but you really have to be following in order to be able to keep up with the story. I think that for poems that are just for fun, such as this, it should be a little easier to follow and more for the fun. This poem follows the two bachelors as they try to find the sage that they wanted to put in their stew to eat a mouse, which is pretty gross too. This is a poem found in, a poem book by Edward Lear.
