I always wonder who Alexander is

Dilly Dilly Piccalilli
Tell me something very silly:
There was a chap his name was Bert
He ate the buttons off his shirt.

Father Fox's Pennyrhymes is delightfully illustrated and filled with tiny in-jokes.  And the rhymes are fun.  I have two copies of this one and every few years I pull one out and read it again, just for the sheer joy of it.  

Here's a song of Tinker & Peter
Honey is sweet but love is sweeter...
What comes next?  Now tell me dearly,
Alexander darling. 

This one is illustrated with two foxes in disguise at a rabbit wedding.  It is not at all certain who will be dining soon.
