This is the dam that Keele built. <br />This is the stream that brought the water to fill the dam that Keele built; <br />This is the Water and Sewer Brigade, <br />That measured the stream that brought the water to fill the dam that Keele built; <br /> <br />This is the Engineer by Trade -- <br />Head of the Water and Sewer Brigade, <br />Who measured the stream that brought the water to fill the dam that Keele built; <br /> <br />These are the Calculations made <br />By the Eminent Engineer by Trade, <br />Head of the Water and Sewer Brigade, <br />Who measured the stream that brought the water to fill the dam that Keele built; <br /> <br />This is the scornful Mr Wade, <br />Who sneered at the Calculations made <br />By the Eminent Engineer by Trade, <br />Head of the Water and Sewer Brigade, <br />Who measured the stream that brought the water to fill the dam that Keele built; <br /> <br />This is the Minister quite dismayed <br />At the sight of the Scornful Mr Wade, <br />Who sneered at the Calculations made <br />By the Eminent Engineer by Trade, <br />Head of the Water and Sewer Brigade, <br />Who measured the stream that brought the water to fill the dam that Keele built; <br /> <br />This is the Sydneyite afraid <br />That a serious blunder will be made, <br />Because of the Minister, quite dismayed <br />At the sight of the Scornful Mr Wade, <br />Who sneered at the Calculations made <br />By the Eminent Engineer by Trade, <br />Head of the Water and Sewer Brigade, <br />Who measured the stream that brought the water to fill the dam that Keele built.<br /><br />Andrew Barton Paterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-dam-that-keele-built/
