SOMERSET
ASSURES HIS WELCOME
ANY OTHER—PARTY
Johnny Crow Plied Rake and Hoe
And improved his little Garden.
And the Eagle
Looked quite regal
In Johnny Crow’s Garden
And the Cockatoo
Said “Comment vous portez vous?”
And the Gander
Didn’t understand her;
But the Flamingo
Talked the same lingo
In Johnny Crow’s Garden.
And the Bear
Sang a sentimental Air,
But the Giraffe
Was inclined to laugh;
Even the Duckling
Couldn’t help chuckling
In 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 Hen
Said:
“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 Camel
Swallowed the Enamel.
And the Reindeer
Said: “I’m sorry for your pain, dear!”
In Johnny Crow’s Garden.
So the Chimpanzee
Put the Kettle on for Tea;
And the Seal
Made a very big Meal;
While the Sole
Shared a Muffin with the Mole
In Johnny Crow’s Garden.
Then they picked the Flowers, and
Wandered in the Maze,
And before they went their several ways
They all joined together
In a Hearty Vote of Praise
Of Johnny Crow and his
Garden.
