 The Doctor took his book in hand
 His pen was in his finger
 His foot was on a foreign strand --
 But there I need not linger.
 "Now how," said he, "if I may ask
 About your cousin's mother
 Would she attempt the simple task
 Of speaking of your brother?
-Ah yes, just so, ut if she were
+Ah yes, just so, but if she were
 Your mother's uncle's sister
 How would your cousin's sister's aunt
 Address her when she kissed her?
 Yes that's a point I meant to add
 Your nephew's cousin's father
 If he an uncle's sister had
 (And neither of the two were mad)
 Would he respect her rather?
 But if your father's cousin's niece
 (His brother's cousin's mother)
 Were married to your father's son
 Would he be called your brother?
 Indeed, now this if it be so
 Is very interesting
 And really should not be I think
 The subject of your jesting.
 For if your father's mother's son
 Were nephew to your mother
 I really cannot understand
 Why she should call him "brother."
 Alas, Alas, for just before
 The doctor's mind could grip her
 A shout of laughter issued from
 The Cabin of the Skipper.
