TO MY NEPHEW

SOMERSET

HAPPY IN A NAME THAT

ASSURES HIS WELCOME

TO JOHNNY CROW'S OR

ANY OTHER PARTY

Johnny CrowPlied Rake and Hoe

And improved his little Garden.

And the Eagle

Looked quite regal

In Johnny Crow's Garden

And the CockatooSaid "_Comment vous portez vous?_"

And the Gander

Didn't understand her;

But the FlamingoTalked the same lingo

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

And the Bear

Sang a sentimental Air,

But the GiraffeWas inclined to laugh;

Even the DucklingCouldn't help chucklingIn Johnny Crow's Garden.

Then the Snake

Got entangled with the rake

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

And the Cock

Had a very nasty knock;

So the HenSaid:

"We'll never come again

To Johnny Crow's Garden!"

And the Sheep

Went to sleep,

And the Armadillo

Used him for a pillow;

And the Porcupine

Said: "Wake me if for talk you pine!"

In Johnny Crow's

Garden.

And the Kangaroo

Tried to paint the Roses blue

Till the CamelSwallowed the Enamel.

And the ReindeerSaid: "I'm sorry for your pain, dear!"

In Johnny Crow's Garden.

So the ChimpanzeePut the Kettle on for Tea;

And the Seal

Made a very big Meal;

While the SoleShared a Muffin with the MoleIn Johnny Crow's Garden.

Then they picked the Flowers, andWandered in the Maze,And before they went their several ways

They all joined togetherIn a Hearty Vote of Praise

Of Johnny Crow and hisGarden.
