A Puzzle by Lewis Carroll

John gave his brother James a box:
About it there were many locks.
James woke and said it gave him pain;
So gave it back to John again.
The box was not with lid supplied
Yet caused two lids to open wide:
And all these locks had never a key
What kind of box, then, could it be?

Answer
As curly haired James was sleeping in bed, His brother John gave him a blow on the head. James opened his eyelids, and spying his brother, Doubled his fists, and gave him another. This kind of a box then is not so rare The lids are the eyelids, the locks are the hair.
