Answer:
They know the original poems by heart, and when Carroll replaces them with new words and meanings it can be a bit funny for a child. It makes sense that Carroll creates humor through parody because comedy is one of the outcomes of paradoxical text. ... "The Poems in Alice in Wonderland (1903)." A Blog of Bosh.

'How doth the little crocodile' is a parody of the moralistic poem 'Against idleness and mischief' by Isaac Watts, which is what Alice was originally trying to recite. Watts' poem begins with 'How doth the little busy bee....' and uses bee as a model of hardwork. In Carroll's parody, crocodile's corresponding 'virtues' are deception and predation, themes which recur throughout Alice's adventures.
